Pictured is the Rodsville
V-8 Quickchange as featured in some issues of Rodder
Journal that is currently available for sale in a kit form
from Rodsville and Dealers across the country. Kits includes
everything less end gears needed to convert the old 1937 to
1948 banjo rear end to a v-8 quickchange which seems to be the
rear end of choice these days. The outside of the case has the look
of the classic Hali culver city v-8 but has the much improved
rib support of the later Torrance cast cases. We have gone farther
and improved the strength of the front pinion support that is the
first spot to break under stress that excedes the limitation of the
case. Most of the used cases found at swaps,etc. are either broked
or repaired in that area. Why start behind the 8 ball? Finally the
cases are being cast in a newer formula 357T6 aluminum that far
excedes the strength of 356t6. Kit price which
includes Halibrand spec hardened lower shaft, new bearings,
front seal cover,yoke, and seal,rear cover with bearings,rear nuts
and studs, pinion retainer, and pinion spacer and is currently
1695.00. Picture to right is the case kit installed to a 1940 banjo
rear end showing the fully assembled form. Note* the center section
kit is only part of the picture to the right. Axle Bells, ring and
pinion, end gears,brakes and extra's are not included in the
rodsville v-8 center section kit. Please call or email for more
information and dealers across the country. No Catalog at this
time.
