Watching beat up builds YouTube videos of the Chevy v8 gokart I have some good ideas on how to build the box extension.
What size chain is that? Hopefully not 35.
Heck 40 might not be strong enough.
Im loving this. Too much engine and not enough kart!
The original sprocket on the sled was 35 chain. I’ll be using a 420 chain sprocket. That way I can keep the 420 chain axle sprocket.
And I’m shooting for 50-60mph top speed max. If it’s any faster then that the whole axle gets dropped for a bigger sprocket to slow it down some.
And about that driven hitting the engine mount. The driven sheaves open up quite a bit but the driven is offset so the belt straightens as the driven opens. That works out in my favor massively. And knowing this helps me set it up not to shred the belt instantly.
