i dont think this thing is built for performance... i dont think it will do a whole lot of damge to performance though.
The pic is deceiving, Because of the angle that I have to mount it that is about the lowest I can go. There is only about a inch between the sump and the frame.
Thanks!
It will be braced more when I'm done so that shouldn't be a problem.
Its not built for racing or anything extreme, but I will be taking it to some pretty high speeds. If anything mounting the motor higher will allow the motor to get more air through the air box.

by hurt it in the bends i ment the centre of gravity is high
what corners faster an f1 car or a truck
yes it is as low as u can but it should probs be a bit wider to drop the engine down
oh well still looks good and will still go like mad

Sorry for the lack of updates, Ive been busy getting back into school. I do have acess to the shop everyday for the next 2 trimesters though 
. Cut my spindles out on the CNC plasma cutter. On thursday I should start turning out tome spacers and other things on the lathe 
. Im hoping to finish it within 3 weeks of today. All I really have to do it figure out exhaust, breaks, and steering and then Im good to go.

Great build! I can't wait to hear how it performs. I am about to start a similar build and wondered if you would mind sharing your sketchup file?

The spindle is welded on the inside, but I will finish welding it on the outside tomorrow. The a arms will be getting alot more support.
Sent the files!
