Marc at BAM uses proprietory parts and there are several procedures that are done inside (not just pump and cluthes). Best bet is to call Marc, hes good to deal with and will build them for you (get warranty too).

Thanks for the help fellas. But, I already spoke to both Tom and Marc. I own a full service machine shop and want to see if I can make some more improvements on top of what these two gentlemen have done. In particular I want to design an improved casting for the body of the trans. I have all of the dimensional data from Borg Warner. Anyone who can give me specific mod dimensions from a Huber or BAM trans would be greatly appreciated. I already know they both mod the pump, valve body, clutch hub for extra clutches, deep sump and dry sump systems, input and output shafts. I just need specifics. Prints would be killer. But, I will be more than happy with actual measurements taken from one.
Thanks,
Jay

It would not be an interesting project if I just bought my way out of it. I know alot of people involved in this hobby with more money than brains. I am not one of them. As far as respecting their efforts is concerned, competition is part of a capitalists economy. So, layoff.

Tom Huber is a trained engineer who has worked in designing and manufacturing automotive and marine transmissions all his life. I would think he would consider copies of his drawings and prints to be industrial espionage and may possibly be patent infringement. You might want to see if he holds any patents before proceeding.

I wouldn't worry about this Carribean Pirate too much...he doesn't sound like he could find his ass with his hands.

You guys can kiss my ass. First of all I have no interest in manufacturing transmissions. All that I want to do is experiment with my own on my own ****. If you are going to cry to Tom Huber. Knock yourselves out. As far as knowing what I am doing. At least I am not some dumb ass you expects everybody else to figure it out for me. Keep throwing out the cash fellas. As far as my original question is concerned. Forget it, I will seek another source of expertise. You guys certainly lack it.
Thanks anyway.
