Falcon Racing Transmission For 2 Piece Rear Main With Free Stand

Pre-1986 Chevrolet Small Block V8 engines running the older 2-piece rear main seal are the target for this Falcon transmission, which pairs an 18-spline crank coupler cut for that seal style with a heavy-duty stand at no added cost. Falcon lists IMCA Modified, Stock Car, Dirt Late Model, and Hobby Stock as the classes it is built for. Inside the case An integral hydraulic wet clutch again replaces a conventional clutch and pressure plate, carrying over the same 2.40:1 low gear and direct-drive top gear from Falcon's newer-seal version. Falcon caps torque at 600 lb-ft, puts the horsepower ceiling at roughly 900, and lists the case at approximately 45 pounds with a 21-5/8-inch overall length; this particular listing does not give a tailshaft figure. Package contents Eighteen splines run the input shaft, sized at 1.0625 inches, into a 1.1875-inch output carrying 27 splines on its slip yoke. Along with the transmission itself, Falcon includes the stand and an early-block crank coupler, plus the documentation to install it; bellhousing and shifter are left for the buyer to source. Q: How do I know if my engine needs this version instead of the 1-piece kit? Check whether your Small Block Chevy predates or follows 1986, since the rear main seal style changed at that point and the two crank couplers are not interchangeable. That same twelve-month coverage against material and workmanship defects applies here too, tied again to normal racing use and a correct install.
