Questions on a project

I don't think a Lenco would bolt up, I could be wrong though

 

I think I'm going to go with an Allison 4800 for this since it's rated for 680~800 horsepower and ~2,000 ft-lbs of torque. First gear looks really ####in steep but my next concern would be how I go about transfering power from the engine and to the rear wheels. I think I'm going to use a Quick Change center section for independent suspension setups but I'm unsure if I should go about getting a pair of flanges to directly couple the tranny output to the differential input or if I should go with a driveshaft, a short one at that. From there I think I'm going to go with Corvette style suspension and brake components since my original thought was to go with GM one ton wheel hubs and custom cv axles but seeing as how I can't find tires for 22.5" super single wheels with a low enough profile and a high enough speed rating to be practical

 

My thing with going with Corvette suspension and brake components is that with 22.5" super single wheels the only tires I'd seemingly be able to find are those meant for use on a truck as large as a Freightliner and I don't think I'd want to take the risk of running a tire that's rated for at most 70 or 80 miles per hour at more than double that, I haven't had a chance to look into the selection that's out there at the time of this post as I'm just getting done with another day of fighting with the fourteen hour rule and being restricted by California speed limits

 

Another thing about that, tire selection is part of it but brake selection is another thing all of its own, with Corvette wheel hubs I can go with some top quality brakes like Wilwood or Baer carbon ceramics which, from what I know and not having first hand experience with them yet, are some #### nice brakes as the nature of carbon ceramics rotors doesn't allow brake fade, the carbon just sublimes off into one oxide or another, plus I can go with a hydraulic system instead of a pneumatic system which is imo an all around better option for this application because it means the vehicle can be smaller because I'm not having to leave enough clearance for comparitively massive brake drums and if I were feeling like having even more of a headache in the fluid management department I could go with a rear steer setup in addition to what will probably be a hydraulic rack and pinion system up front because I imagine this would be too heavy for an electric power steering system and manual power steering is all sorts of no from me

 

I'm not going to go with GM one ton equipment, I considered it at first because I found wheel adapters that would let me use super single wheels and I thought that would look pretty cool, however tire options killed that idea. As far as Corvette components they would not be stock, there are companies out there that make driveline components for high output racing applications, such as The Driveline Shop (yes that's their actual name, look them up) makes components for the Corvette that's rated for as high as 1,600 horsepower, plus they can make axles custom to pretty much any application. As for it being something like Blastolene I had never heard of it till this post and so I'm not familiar with it, the first image that came to mind in my head when I first seriously thought about it was something similar to the Ford GT40, albeit loosely. It's not going to tow or haul anything, I have other ideas as to what I would use for those purposes
