Do they use V drives for mid-engine or rear engine setups? V drives are called "V" drives because the drive shafts effectively make a V right? Sorry I can't answer your question, you just sparked my curiosity
yeah you`ve got it right.
I don't think they use casale's anymore cuz I saw the Herbst boys checking out some old truck at the Parker 400 saying "Holy crap is that a casale on that thing?"

The transmission is a 3 speed automatic which transfers power forward to Casale V-Drive then back to an offset rear end. The mid-engine design utilizes a Ford SVO 412 cubic inch V8 which produces 750 horsepower.
that'd be damen jeffries truck...i think the herbst team considers him as competition, so i spose it'd depend on the truck it's in
What old truck could the of been looking at?
Ther are only a few trucks with v-drive's and none could be considered old.
Damens' truck......steve's truck.......marty coynes(robbys last) and I think ragland truck has one.
are there any others????
The Tubeworks Truggy has a V-Drive in it. It was at the Pamona Off-Road Expo.
There was a '67-'72 bodied Ford on a trailer at Primm 2 years ago set up mid engine with a Casale. Pretty sure of the body vintage, Todd Z was there with me. Maybe he can confirm or deny. In any case, it was NOT and late model body. Looked like someone's project truck more than a racer.
It might have been the same one, but it looked like too much work to be someones' project (nice work too). It was an early body stlyle (F-100 style) mid engine. I saw it on a trailer at one of the pits. Maybe someone tooks some pics of it?
Its a very nice truck with centermount lower a arms. Its the header guy from Arizona but I cannot think of his name right now. We had some pics of it from laughlin a long time ago on our site.
