This is supposed to be the twin engine drag bike. Today I tried to put the front engine that's backwards in place. Found that I had to move the engine way out the left side of the frame which made the head hit the frame. The 5 to 1 transmissions stick out the right side so far, I would have to split the frame and widen, it not ready for that. So, I was looking at the bike, and this flash went thru my head the Polini engine. So I dragged it out w/ the radiator, and set it in the frame. Going to cut the Cag engine plate off & try to lower the engine. Can't fit the Rad up as it sits, spark plugs in the way, but after I move the rear axle back 8 1/2" might get it back in front. Cutting the body mount arms off, turning them in and welding then the be the top engine mount. Will have to weld in the rear mount bracket.
Still going to move the rear axle back w/ the rectangle tubing but 13 3/4" pcs that will move the axle back which when welded to the frame will move the axle back 8 1/2" which will make it 52" long over all.
Got out my spare C1 body, that Tsun sent me when the bike arrived w/ the tail broken. Putting the new one on the C1 and the C1 on this bike.
