Vance and Paul , thx for the input. I'll try to get those books to help
with our gear selection. We need an offset drive using a
reasonably available (and priced) gear set capable of handling 3-400 hp. I
thought initially that they were too small, but
couldn't prove it. I'll let you know what we come up with, or feel free to
make suggestions. Thx again.

There are several around Chuck. Not cheap or light weight however.
This is the set for the S51 Chevy big block which is about
300 to 400 HP. Weighs about 120 pounds. Designed by a P&W
engineer with input from one of the engineers that worked on
the RR Merlin gear box I think.

I also have some pictures around someplace of the Lancair IV/Eagle
Chevy V8 gear box.

I got some pictures of the guts of this someplace too.
This is the Lancair/Eagle engine PSRU.
