 Go with a Big Block. The torque is awesome and you cant beat the sound of a built Big Block with a high lift cam and some open headers. A blower would be a nice addition as well.
Good luck getting past the inspector. - GBK [more] |

Re: Team 1511 - The benefits of design pay off!
I did that with our drive train this year. Aside from the chains, everything went together very quickly once we got it back from being powder coated. It also took no time at all to cut things. Next year we'll look for ways to get rid of the chains.
I tried to do that for our lift, but we used 80/20. Trying to mate anything to 80/20 in Solidworks effectively kills the assembly down the line, as it seems that none of the mates seem to save properly, nor are there pre-made templates. I wound up using placeholders but the dimensions are still off from what the real robot has. Then on top of that there's so much shifting and adjusting and "omg! I forgot to put a slider there for another screw! Take this apart!" crap. |
