🚀 A NEW DEVELOPMENT FROM AEROMASTER SPORTS CARS — LS V8 / AUDI 0A2 BELLHOUSING KIT
After a long period of research and development, we are proud to share one of our latest achievements at Aeromaster Sports Cars!
Developed with kit car enthusiasts in mind, particularly our potential customers in the US market, our new LS V8 to Audi 0A2 manual transmission Bellhousing Kit offers a practical and cost-effective powertrain solution for builders choosing a GM LS-series engine and an Audi 0A2 gearbox as the donor drivetrain for their Aeromaster kit car.
Why did we develop this kit?
🔧 1. Perfect fit within a very limited engine bay
The space beneath the rear engine cover is extremely limited. Our bellhousing is designed to maintain the correct engine and gearbox height and positioning, aimed to deliver an adequate clearance beneath the bodywork.
💰 2. A more affordable powertrain solution
Combining a GM LS-series V8 with an Audi transmission is an attractive alternative for kit car builders. Donor parts are widely available, helping to reduce the challenges associated with the powertrain setup. Since suitable factory engine management system can be easily obtained, the customers avoid all the expenses and complexity of high-end standalone ECUs and custom wiring harnesses.
⚙️ 3. Correct drivetrain geometry
Our Bellhousing kit is engineered to set a proper distance between the engine and transmission inside the engine bay, ensuring that the transmission output shafts are positioned correctly within the drivetrain layout. This is essential for achieving proper alignment and a well-integrated installation"
Our aim is to make building an exciting, modern V8-powered Aeromaster sports car more accessible — combining the unmistakable character of an American LS V8 with a practical European manual transmission solution.
This is another important step forward in our ongoing development of the Aeromaster kit car platform.
The bell housing will be fully CNC-machined from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum to ensure precision, strength, and a lightweight design.
The mid-plate features a dual-face design, providing two different mounting depths to accommodate different LS engine clutch setups and ensure the correct slave cylinder positioning.
In addition, we are developing a dedicated input shaft extension to further optimize compatibility between the LS engine and the Audi 0A2 gearbox.
