Has that been finalised?? Thought it was all still up in the air??
Yep - still up in the air but is certain to happen. Also looks like they will be dropping the steering box requirement.
So the spec would be front engined, two seat, 37in tyres, body panels to make it look like a 4wd.
So for the buildup it wont really matter if you use part of a chassis or not. At least if you use a chassis it gives you something easy to start with.
Also I would try to use a T700 auto cause its got a 3:1 first gear instead of 2.5:1 So with the 60 series diffs with 4.1:1 you really only would need transfer gears around the 3.3:1 up to 4:1 say to give 40:1 up to 50:1 overall.

Why not consider the 1UZ-FE Toyota V8?
Fuel-injected, light, cheap for a front-cut with auto box and all wiring.
Be a squeeze for extractors though...

also a good thought, but i have a 308 already so that would be the ideal way to go... would allow me to spend more money on the gearbox and suspension
