[QUOTE="Woodlee, post: 273569, member: 116"] This engine is a sexy looking beast, but right off the bat I knew the location of the engine accessories was not going to work with the amount of up travel I was shooting for in this buggy. So, I stripped them off and set the motor down into the chassis. [IMG]http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn37/wideopendesign/BJ%20Allens%20Buggy/IMG_1314_zpsc6e596fa.jpg[/IMG] The first thing we did was set the drive train in the buggy and mock it up in place. We held off on building any drive train mounts though. We wanted to get the axles set into place and make sure that the axles and the engine ended up in the right spot. We set the wheel base at 114 in. long and pushed the engine up as far as we could and still get all of the the accessories on the motor. This took a bit of planning because this buggy is running an 8 rib pulley system instead of a 6 rib kit like you normally see, and its getting 2 power steering pumps. And to just make it a little tougher one of the pumps is PSC's trophy truck pump, and that sucker is huge and hungry. I drew up some trusses for the Torq axle housings that incorporate the ram mounts, link mounts, and truss all in one. I drew them up in CAD, and made sure every thing was going to work. They turned out sick looking in person. As soon as the trusses were on we put on the King shocks. We went with 14 in. travel in the front and 16 in. travel in the rear. We mounted all of the links to the chassis using our lazer cut kit that fits all of the Revolution and Evolution chassis. Then attached the shocks with our shock mount kit that we offer for our chassis. All of the link on this buggy were done in house and the lowers are 2.5" 7075 and the uppers are 2" 7075 with 1.25" QA-1 Rod Ends all the way around.
