Hi,
I have an LS 5.3 powered scarab sprint 18. Running an alpha gen2 with 1.50 gears.
I am going to attempt to convert my drive to a vazer upper gear case to raise my X dim. There is no other way to do it besides chopping up a upper alpha case and making a custom vertical shaft. Seen it done. But dont want to try it.
i was informed that the vazer case is basically a shorty alpha. Same internals and such. Same bolt pattern on bell housing. I can use my lower unit on it and it is a direct bolt on aside from changing the vertical shaft out for the shorter vazer version
I have a few concerns about the bell housing difference, shift cable, oil feed from the reservoir , etc
does anyone have knowledge as to what differences at the mounting flange to bell housing. Or other issues. I was planning on installing my 1.50 upper gear set into the vazer case.
to sum up… alpha transom, trim cyl, alpha lower with vazer shaft… just want to use the short upper case.
