The Gear Start has a 56 valve body with the shift points altered, and an extra disk in the clutch pack. The bell housing is ventilated to help keep the convertor cool, and I will be using an air cooler also. Thought of using the 56 hi-stall convertor turbines but wasn't sure that would be a good idea with the slower torque curve of the I8.

The radiator, by happenstance and the fact that I am cheap, is out of a 58 Packard that I slaughtered. That solved the height problem, and fitting it with a full fan shroud seemed to bring the cooling capacity in line.
