>>What transmission and rear end are being used ?
---Spitfire manual transmission and rear differential.
>>What is the top speed ?
----About 65mph where it hits the governor @3060rpm. The little Kubota is not blatting or smoking at that speed.
>>Any build info you could share would be great.
----Build info mostly follows the original plans offered by
128-mpg Diesel-Powered Sports Car There are several deviations that should yield even better results!
----The last 2 weeks were spent addressing vibrations (engine and drivetrain). Over 9 hours dedicated to drivetrain alignment and ultimately moving the engine ahead a whopping quarter of an inch but it was time well spent. Today everything is very acceptable so I might plan to move onward although winter is coming...
