The car will maintain the solid axle with chain drive. No jackshaft. Thanks ... Jay Novak

If we can really get 600cc bike engines in quantity for $2K, without a bunch of other 'hidden' costs, this sounds reasonable. I'd prefer, though, to keep as much of the rest of the formula intact as possible. It's far too easy to become another FF with $35K cars....

I am going to use my 2nd Rakavon chassis & install a Suzuki GSXR 600cc bike engine. Over the weekend I purchased a BRAND NEW 600cc GSXR engine for a bit over $2000 delivered to my shop. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
