Indeed. But it's still a modification that would need to be done. I wish them luck, and I want to see pictures of it when it's finished.

Reverse rotation would lend handling benefits for ovals, but that would be a separate modification, 'cause reorienting the motor 180° along the axis of the crank would not change the direction it spins on its own. All I can say is that if they do pull it off, you got to take pictures for us to...

The first thing that occurs to me, aside from whether it is technically possible at all, is that there is a lot more than 10.5" of engine above the crankshaft centerline when installed "normally" (in an American style V8 anyway), so if you flip the thing over, you'll have to raise the entire...

Not that it was a good idea, but we ran a methanol modified with a 32 gal tank back in the late 90's all over short tracks in MO, and basically every car ran the same setup. Big rectangular poly tank, NO foam, specifically to promote slosh and help turn the car in on entry. Did it work? Yeah...

It might, but the car doesn't "feel" the roll center laterally in the rear like it does in the front, especially on dirt. The height and length of the bar (when you get to the REALLY short panhard bars, like 8"-10" long) just seems to matter a lot more. If the car turns in OK but is loose off...

If the car won't turn at all, put a stiffer right rear spring and a softer right front spring in it and a limiter chain on the left rear. That's a big swing, but it'll definitely flatten out the car's attitude in the corner. Might need to make clearance for the RF tie rod against the frame...

The stub I'm working on is a 68-72 Chevelle, so the big Impala lowers won't fit. Wouldn't gain me anything width wise anyway. Building the spindles from scratch, that's not a big deal, I've done that before. Think I'm going to go with the big bearing GN hubs and bolt-on rotors. More rotor...

So, that was sort of like not reading the FAQ, wasn't it? :eek: Sorry about that. Is the Full Vehicle version worth the price? It's nearly twice as much money as the standard version, and close to three times the price of the CTA. My project is kind of half way between a scratch build and...

I'm working on a design for a pavement modified, more or less an IMCA style car, but not running under that sanction. Track used to be NASCAR but has since gone outlaw, rules remain more or less the same though. I've been doing my front end geometry calculations and layouts by hand in AutoCAD...
