Hello fellow kitcarbuilders.

I'm trying to build a tremec T5 behind a Ecoboost 2.3 while the MT82 is to big for my DaxRush Seven.
I heard that Quad4Rods makes such a bellhouse.
Problem is I can't vind the website,do they have one ?
How can I contact them ?

Hope you can help me.

From all appearances, Quad4rods has gone belly-up! Anyone else have contrary info?

Their website seems to be gone, so it looks like they are, too. Too bad - they were a source (possibly the only source) of many bell housings for combining various engines & gearboxes, ignition systems, etc. They were, unfortunately, breathtakingly expensive. Years ago, I bought a Zetec-to-Ford T5 bellhousing & a simple 2D ignition system for my Zetec. At the time, it was a hard decision due to the high prices, but recently their prices had soared. My bell & ignition system would have cost over $2,000 if I were to have bought them recently.

Still, it's a shame they're gone. Their products were of supremely high quality, and not available anywhere else in the world that I'm aware of.

Found an other solution for my problem.
Mulfab makes this adaptorplate between T5 and Duratec rwd MT75 bellhouse.
Bellhouse stil needs some extra engineering so you got to sent you bellhouse to them too.
Still prefer a 1piece connection between gearbox an engine .[img]

Quad4Rods went the way of the dodo, unfortunately. Quicktime (Holley) has just what you (and I) are looking for:

Be forewarned, it AIN't LoCost!....But it does the job!

Well, it may not be "Locost", but it's certainly cheaper than Quad4Rods. Mind you, the Q4R bells are spectacular pieces - the CNC-machined faces are machined to an almost mirror finish. It's almost a shame to hide them away in a tunnel!

That is too bad. John from Quad4rods was a standup guy. He helped me get my tach working off my Q4R ignition. He even sent me a part no charge! Really Hope that ignition holds up now!

I would've thought that QuickTime and others would at least have the info to make one?
