Some thoughts on design. First and formost it should have been designed with double A-Arms in the front. The side vertical bars are too far back making getting in and out a hassle. They need to be further forward. I like the steering wheel support which comes down from the top instead of up from the floor. It makes installation of a dashboard easy and gives you more leg room. The rear swing-arm/engine mount needs to be about 6 inches longer to give more room for torque converter and jackshaft mounting. Also the rear part of the rollcage should be made to allow more room for taller, wider engines so it doesn't hit. The 8hp I plan to put on it will be close. Anything bigger won't work without modifying. But considering I don't have much money invested in it I'm happy.
