I will be building a 1/12 RM chopper into a v-8 blown vette 427 powered trike. here is a mock up pick of parts. The frame will have to be scratched built. Any suggestions or comments??

I have seen Chevy V-8s in 2 wheel bikes...there are 3 of them in tha Tampa. FL area....one runs w/o a trans tailshaft into a 90 degree gearbox that comes out to a belt drive. I didn't get close enuff to see tha other two. I'd hate to see how tha guy gets it back up on tha wheels ifn he evah lays it down. :wink:

Ifn yu need some pics and a starter website, well take a gander at these toys.....

and a pickup

hope these help a bit, tha website is http://www.harleysoflittleport.com/trikes/

Well getting started on this. Taking the front lower portion of the crusader frame. Extended the bottom rails 4" from the bend and added tranny and motor mounts(temporary until I can scratch good tubular ones) Now to decide how to do the top bars around the blower and just where I want them to come down on the frame. Thinking bringing them down right beside the bellhousing. Then about half way down split to the rear as well where the lower bars will v up. Still looking for better 1/12 scale rear wheels for it, maybe even something decent off of a old diecast would work good enough for what I want. I will be building this thing around the motor and the motor is what i want to spend my attention on!
