Waterloo Drivetrains

[kyreb1862]

Anybody familiar with a company called Waterloo drivetrains? They have what looks like a good 5spd conversion but I can't seem to find them on the web. Are they still in business?

used to be www.waterloo-dtr.com
dunno what happened to them.

try www.conversioncomp.co.nz
https://www.blindmoosefab.com/
https://www.rivergate5speed.com/
https://www.quantumechanics.com/
https://www.piercemanifolds.com/cylinderheads.htm

incidentally, a "sierra" = merkur xr4 if you go that route.

the toyota options seem more intriguing, especially the 6-speed supra box.

good luck!

Waterlo Drivetraines was moved to California 5 or 6 years ago. The owner, John Black, sold the business to another company and was to stay on the payroll as a mamager of the business. Within a year of moving his business from Austin, Tx, I lost track of Mr Black. The new owner would not answer my emails concerning Mr Black. Mr Black was a very nice Brit who had been into Brit cars for many years. I bought a 5-speed kit from him when he was in Austin, and he delivered it to me one weekend when I was in Houston on business. He was great to do business with. BTW, the above link for Waterloo Transmissions up north somewhere is not the same business.
