Once the ZF transaxle in my possession, and the bare frame on my garage floor, it was time to get serious about planning in detail all of the modifications necessary to make it work in my Valkyrie. As stated, there was a lot more involved than just swapping out the Corvair transaxle. I put a drafting table in a 3rd floor guest bedroom in my house, and this is where I spent many hours planning the necessary work that would follow.
Note: The drawings shown below were early concept plans and do not reflect any changes that may have been made during the implementation of the frame modifications.
