Worked on 3Deep model

[toddshotrods]

The ultimate V8 motor would be the 5300 LS motor that's in the new Grand Prix and Impala. Special aluminum block with the correct bell pattern to mate up to the current tranverse transaxles. Unless I can pick up GM Performance Parts as a sponsor, I don't think it's going to fit in my budget though. I would probably need a few complementary aftermarket sponsors (ECU, etc.) to make it work outside its designated environment as well. Northstar is not a bad choice but I it would also cost a nice chunk of change to do properly.



You're right, I don't need (and really don't want) typical V8 power in this trike. If I do it I will try to push the curve up as much as possible. I think it would suck riding something that wants to wheelie every time you twist the grip.

I may just stick with the inline four and think about building a second V8 model for show later. I want to rack up some miles on this one.
