I thnk you're gonna need equal sized front wheels.

Your front wheels are gonna act as brakes past a certain point.
The rears will be spinning faster than the front....

I think he's right...unless I'm missing something? Can you change the pulley ratios enough to overdrive the fronts? If not, your driveline is going to have significant frictional losses.

Just wondering...are you gonna make a roll bar to protect that really nice engine in case that thing decides to go end-over-end and side-over-side?[X(]

Oh yea true the wheels down so they can be the same diameter becaus eif not then you will mess your transmission all up. If you can get a 1-way up front then you would be good to go.

Looks great Brent but true down those real tires or else it is gonna cause the front end to resist the rear end

The rears will be spinning faster than the front....
For sure you're gonna need same radius tyres cause now the rear tyres cover longer distance per round than the front.

GYNAIKAS, I love your signature and I am trying to do axactly as you have said it.

I have not started the engine yet as I am building a custom header for it as well plus my new CVD's haven't been finihsed just yet. It won't be until about another 3-4 weeks before I can get it finished because I work out of town this whole month of September.

I'll keep you guys posted as well.
