Hey all.

Still mullin around the ideas of buildin a v8 trike.

Got a local builder that says he can build my entire frame. Im thinkin on the other part of the build and heres what im thinkin.

8.8 inch rear with 300ish gearing. Sbc with turbo 350 tranny. Big ole leading link front end. Id like something different in the tires so maybe a set of 24 or 26 inch low profiles???

Wondering what type of rear end setup i should use? Kinda like this setup. Not to long but not a stubby death trap. Tnx all. Hg

I recently sold a pair of wide 17" wheels and tires from a 90 Vette to a guy. when I asked what he was building he shows me a pic on his phone of the v-8 trike he built. all aluminum 215 Buick power with auto trans hooked directly to a c-5 rear end assy. he said it's not 100% done yet, but he has driven it. said it was a bit scary if he gets on it in the corners, due to the posi rear end :D
