What do I build next? (Decided)
« on: June 29, 2005, 10:05:29 AM »
So heres the problem.....

    I finished the engine on the "Do it yerself engine" thread and got so excited about doing it I didn't think about what I was going to put it in...oops

So now I've got.....

1) 1.6/8v in the airplane.
2) Partner is putting the 1.6/8v that was going in
   Kick/Track for my daughter into the airboat
3) I've got to finish the 2.0L swap for my wifes SideKick
   4dr and get it installed.
4) The 1.6/16v from my wifes is being redone to go into
    the Kick/Track for my daughter.

    So all my engines have homes and all the projects will be cleaned up by September.....

EXCEPT this one.............so now what do I build.

    I live in Alberta and haven't yet got into this rock crawling stuff....but I'd like some ideas for a home for this engine so I can test it and develope more info....

Any thoughts?????


Has to be cheap, shouldn't have built it in the first place.

Thanks

Get 2 Old track/kicks,  maby a samy gear box,  revers the gears form one of the front ends and put it in the back,  Maby  run all wheel stearing, locking hubs front and rear, 4WIS and run 31 in tires, you could probably put a steel housing Of the rear axel and use the shaft hausing - half shafts - and CV axels from the fron and have a pretty strong piece. would take a bit of FAB and Some welding but you would have a strong motor, KIK ARSE drive trane, 4 wheel stearing is not that hard to rig up, 2 power gear boxes, or 2 manual gear boxes.  
And 4 wheel stearing, you could drive in perfect circles, and probably do cookies in a garauge!!

oh yeah gota have a snorkel, roll cage on this,

I am not talking rock crawler,  thoe it could but would need more then stock parts. "anvil housings stronger axels, Yoda fron end parts" but it would be a VERRY capable trail Rig and to put a locker in either fron or rear, or BOTH.

this is somthing i want to do but at the moment i dont have a shop, welder cutting torch, or the cash.

Thanks Proud2BCdn

    I'll get a hold of you Monday.........

But the problem is still there, now what do I build? I've
got the engine, driveline and chassis......

Suggestions

Heres what I'm thinking........

I can't imagine me being a Rock Crawler (not that it ain't cool, but I don't know where in driving range I could do it and after look'n at those angles...I'd rather be flying when I get that twisted up)........soooooo

- European rally style Trail Screamer?
  (lowered a titch, Meaty Tires, increase wheel travel,
   lights etc)
- Slammed AWD Road Race Style machine?
  (Lowered alot, BIG low profile tires, Flares, Airdam,
   4.62:1 gears with a 5spd)
- Baja Pre Runner style Trail Unit?

What ever I do I want to keep it a street driver to do some follow up developement work that I talked about on the "do it yerself engine build" thread.

What do you guys think?
