I can make a fake, motor plate or shield to close it all in. So, this is about how far I would have to move the combo forward. With my first measuements using a 350 tranny (I hand handy) the bell housing is apx. But, is there enough room for this ? If, I don't use stacked injection and just use a carb., height for the stock hood I assume, would be fine to move the engine forward. This would move them forward and the bell housing would not be in the cockpit. That way, I could mount the tranny to the engine, and not the motor plate. I have thought of not using the typical "motor plate" to mount the engine and just making mounts. The GM powerglide case is smaller that a turbo 350/400 but the bell housing is the same size. The problem is, leg room for a bell housing inside the cockpit. I just can't hear a sprint with a manual tranny ! Just don't seem right. Problem #2- Transmission- I would rather have a automatic transmission. I want the car from the motor plate forward, to be standard length so a factory body will fit. Problem # 1- Which "looks" better ?Īppearance, is very. The "side pod" looks like a sore thumb sticking out but, retains a almost.stock wheel base. The "in line" does have the appearance of a sprint car limo. I have seen a few inline sprints but, they are built for track purposes's only, with no starter. Either inline or a side pod ? A couple of years ago, the "Outdoor Channel" built a side pod car. I haven't desided on which way I want to include a second seat. I want it to be as close to a modern sprint as possible, with the provisions I need. I'm in the process of gathering information. Looking at the hot rod sites for a I.R.S Winters/Hailbrand quick change, 5-6 k is too much money. If the hot rod style quick change with a front yoke won't work because of having such a short drive shaft (and other issues) a I.R.S may be needed. The transmission and rear end is the problem. I'm interested in building a street legal, TWO seat, winged sprint car. Web Enter your search terms Submit search form
