Also, are those bearing blocks COTS or would they be machined? If you plan on manufacturing them, you will need fillets in the inside corners for it to be machined.
Also, check out 2791's 2010 chassis for help with bumper mounting.

I'm not really trying to do a full WCD. I was just taking a few ideas from it. The bearing blocks would be machined "in-house" and the reason that their are no fillets inside is because I have not done every little detail. I spent about an hour and a half yesterday doing this and will put all the details and the finishing touches later.

Are the bearing blocks COTS items are are they intended to be milled in-house?
Also, in noting the file name of the picture that shows off your bearing blocks -- technically you're using 'live axles' with this setup. Not a big deal for a file name, but you wouldn't want to confuse the two when asking about them.

I'm not sure that we will be using supershifters next season. With the exception of last year, we have use custom shifting transmissions since 2004 and we will probably go with those.
