TAV-2 Torq a verter dimensions?

[firemarshal71]

Can somebody give me the distance between the driven and driver (on centers) for this torque converter? Also, Is the driven mounted on a 5/8 shaft?

I'm trying to set up a system on a custom build but not use the backing/mounting plate. My jackshaft and engine will remain stationary.

Thanks in advance.

The TAV-2 uses a Comet 30 driver and driven. Here is the belt chart with centerlines for the Comet 30s:

Torque Converter Belts - Comet Belts

The TAV-2 uses the 589 belt which shows 6 15/16" to 7" centerline. This seems too wide. I use 6 5/8" to 6 11/16" centerline.

Thanks RokonDave, lots of info on that site. Any chance you might know the diameter of the jackshaft that the driven is mounted on? I'm also wondering if there is such a thing as a torque converter setup which has a jackshaft that exits the back of the mounting plate so that you can use a right side drive for the back tire while keeping the primary on the left side.

...never mind about the shaft diameter. I am going to use the 20 series symetrical with the 5/8 driven.
