Interesting MN12 and Fox pics Reply #15 – October 24, 2009, 09:57:42 PM The trans on the awd sc looks like an aod judging from the tranny oil pan. The transfer case and front "transaxle" are anyone's guess. Quote Selected
Interesting MN12 and Fox pics Reply #16 – October 24, 2009, 10:00:55 PM Come to think of it, drivetrain power losses are probably greater than average. I wonder how much of the 210 horses made it to the wheels. Quote Selected
Interesting MN12 and Fox pics Reply #17 – October 24, 2009, 10:42:03 PM Those are really cool pics. Right click, save as (and added to my folder of prototype pics which includes some of the AWD SC, a twin turbo 3.8 concept engine, and, of course, the PPG car).The trans in that is definitely AOD. The transfer case is likely something along the lines of the one used in early 90's AWD Aerostars. The front differential looks to be a one-off (or more accurately, "few off" since there was more than one prototype). The housing looks to be bolted onto the oil pan, and the axle shaft obviously passes through the pan. Wonder if the engine and differential shared lubricants? Quote Selected

I want another one, not that I need another project.Its only good for parts really. I mainly keep telling myself to tear it down and sell stuff but I keep putting it off. Body was to rotten to save and the engine has a spun bearing in it. I have pretty much given up hope in EVER seeing that thing back on the road. Quote Selected

More specifically 928 fronts.SVO wheels had 10 slots where 928 wheels had 7 slots.Neat pics, thanks for sharing.Brent Quote Selected
