Re: Raising wheel tubs??

Define "laid out"? is your bed cut to clear the axle? How low is it?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Raising wheel tubs??

I would remove the tubs and mock it up. It's going to be hard for anyone to give you a accurate answer considering everything is custom built.

Keep the progress pics coming...
