Hello Steve,
I use to have Dodge Power Transmissions No. 60 chain coupler that connected
to the pilot shaft of the main motor to a GMC accessory drive unit. They
cannot take more then 2 degrees angular misalignment, more than .015 inch
parallel misalignment and not more than .300 inch shaft float.
The maximum rpm for these chain couplers without cover (cast aluminum grease
cover) is 875 rpm. With covers you can go up to 5000 rpm.
Normally a rear axle does not go this fast. If you have a motor going at
8000 rpm and you have 4:1 differential, than your axle speed will be about
2000 rpm.
If you misalignment are off you will get noise and lots of wear with out
covers.
If you motors are inline with the wheels axle, then chain couplers may not
work if you have to much jog in the rear suspension. Has to be like a
straight solid rear axle unit.
One thing you could do, is shorten up the independent axles which have
joints for this amount jog. Adapt a spline yoke that will go over a
spline/key adapter to go onto the motor. To keep these splines lubricated,
install grease covers over this couplers.
The spline yoke has to float at this connection, not bolted or set screw to
the motor adapter unit.
Dodge Power Transmission has all the items that may work. They also have 90
degree gear boxes with single or double outputs, you can get in any gear
ratio you want.
