Northstar Weight
Hi guys:
464 lbs sounds to light to me. Is that the engine only, or the trans too? I estimated the weight of the engine and trans at 750 lbs when I designed everything. The engine and trans are mounted in the rear in the same configuration as in the stock Eldo. That means that the entire engine and 1/2 the trans are in front of the half shafts, keeping the maximum amount of weight forward. To offset this I located the Radiator, 19.5 Gal fuel tank, and battery up front. I fabricated the chassis, all suspension parts, engine mounts, drive train, and everything else needed when you start with a bare glass body, motor and trans. It's taken 5 years and I'm doing the final assembly now. I'm new to this site and am still trying to figure out how to insert pictures. Thx, Nstar John
