Thanks Adam and Tribe4x4 for the wonderfull chassis. Adam is a top notch guy and has been great to work with. His new shop is full and likely reflects both his exceptional skills and great customer service.
I have fantasies of the whole ultra 4 go fast thing and fantasize to some racing but mainly just want to have a fun project that goes fast. i wheel in the sierras above fresno. the trails can be long and i would love to traverse them faster. will be nice to take this buggy to Pismo which is just a couple hours in the other direction
Anyway the IFS front end is the tricky part and so far I have:
-custom cvs from rcv to use as the outers.
-I have 934 rcv cvs to go on the dutchman 9" at the inner of the a-arms.
-i have all spidertrax parts for the outer sides of the a-arms: hats, 450 unit bearings, builder cup, brakes.
-I anticipate ballistic can make me a pair of spindles that use all my parts. they are crunching it now
-a pair of New 2.5 triple bypass kings. carrier king coils to follow
-lots of Kartec hardware
Motor is new an ls3 "hotcam" with matching harness. 480hp
New atlas 3.0. not divorced.
still need a rear axle
a local fab shop will build her once all the parts are here. (unlimited Fab) Only exception is the front end-i would like to tackle that-but cant untill i have the spindle-(go ballistic go)
so far i have nothing to post but a pile of parts. I feel a little premature even posting. My reason for posting is to get some help. i figure if I post some pics ill get more help. Before i can mock this thing up proper I need to hang the motor/tcase/tranny. But before i can do that i need the tranny. im held up here. I dont know much about autos. i am reading all i can here on pirate searches but am a little stumped. i wanted tci to build me one but after several emails i feel i know more than tci.
here is where i need help:
I believe i want the following for my Th400:
-4wd case with an advance adapter to my atlas II tcase (vs a 2wd case and advance's adapter)
-built to handle 600 hp all day long
-reverse full manual VB-i want to hit reverse fast and hard and want solid shifts
-compression braking
-A selectable lock up in 3rd gear (can i have this?)
-2200 rpmish stall converter
does this sound about right? would ati transmission be a good way to go? http://www.atiracing.com/ I have called around my area and I cant seem to find someone within an hour to build my tranny
help appreciated. im one hell of a web wheeler so fire away
