Any pics of rear engine rods ?

[zzrodder]

I know there have been some done in the past, some using FWD transaxles, here's a couple pics I took 25+ years ago, 54 Ford with blown BBC, used a boat V-drive to send it back to the rear end. It wasn't just a fairground queen as you can see, he ran it down the 1/4 mile a few time too...

Lucky Fast Eddie on KB used a Pontiac Fiero setup if I'm not mistaken. I know They banned him but not sure if his fotos are still up.

Yeah, LFE was running a Fiero setup.

Wonder why he was banned from "KB"?

For a while there it seemed like they were banning a lot of people just for kicks and if you said anything about it, they banned you too.

Wasn't he here for a while?

I think he got banned here too.

Great pics guys, quite the broad spectrum of ways to do it - seems the later Caddy FWD cars make for good rear transplant donors - love the Willys too....

I talked to the builder - the owner was not there . It's always a tough call when you see something that is not right ,do you speak up or let the guy suffer for doing something wrong , maybe hurting himself or others . He has the weight of two engines sitting on coil overs designed for a front end with only one engine and they are attached to the frame with one bolt each . I pointed this out to him and his attitude was "That's the owners problem ". I just said " ok " and moved on , hope he doesn't kill someone when it fails .

cant say much about the builders attitude but i have seen and personnally run air struts and coil overs on our rock crawlers in a single shear design such as this.....as long as the bolt is thick enough and strong enough it shouldnt be to much of an issue.............not my personal choice of mounting style but it can work ....if done wright
