i have been looking at these too Ken, a real problem has come up , when i was searching for a g50 Porsche transaxle i found a stalled(in 1976) 66 corsa crown project and he has 2 zf transaxles(from a Panterra) one has a big block chevy bellhousing, rear disc brakes on boxed arms, custom front suspension with discs, fiberglass hood and trunk, etc. the car is totally rust free (blue on black int.) and has been in dry heated storage since 1976, it had 60,000 miles on it. so...i might sell the Kelmark car and continue on with this car and put my L88 427 in it with the zf, etc.
trying to figure out which way to go, Steve

I know how that goes you look for years for one and then you find one and they fall from the sky :) Bob Sandrock on here was the other gentleman who wanted the kelmark as well maybe contact him he expressed an interest if our deal went south

his email rsandroc@gmail.com in Kentucky

or another fellow Ryan ryaneisenhut@gmail.com in Edmonton

the Kelmark got sold only because I had a Crown there is a LOT to be said for a car that is sorted out like my old Kelmark it is seriously a plug and play car a new fresh build with hundreds of unknowns might be a huge risk too many projects stay that way I'm sure you will make the best decision for you

the other option is to put the L88 and zf in the kelmark car but i kind of hate the idea of altering an original Kelmark setup...torn which way...many more sleepless nights i guess!

I was thinking a 4.6 LS motor would be perfect for the Kelmark revs to the moon light would cause zero issues with too much torque and nearly a direct bolt in :):):):) I almost did it as I had a line on a good 4.6 LS ( 283 )
