Richmond vs ZF

Which one is better? If my ZF were to cease operations, would the Richmond be a good choice? Just wondering. :rolleyes:

The best would be to replace your ZF and not worry with anything else to adapt.

I'd stay with the ZF to avoid any hassles. If your going out to raise hell with it you can always purchase a beefed up ZF from ZF Doctors or Kurt White Racing Products. However the stock ones seem to hold up well in modded ZR1's. 84 CF 91 ZR-1

ZF... I have read that the Richmond's are not as nearly as well built.

I think it was a thread just like this. Whomever said it was rather specific... Things like the gears are not as cleanly cast... nor are they cleaned as well, the bearings are so-so... things like that.

For the price of a Richmond, one can have a ZF rebuilt to a high standard. Thats what would keep me using the ZF...
