Ya that thought hit me rate after the motor showed up, I had clamped the old chassis to the new and transferred the cd bolt pattern so the shaft would be in the rite position.
Wish I had the motor before I had done so but oh well.

I also figured out after the fact that the brace would have to be moved when I tried the 15 tooth pinion on it and it hit the brace just shy of meshing.

Today is my day off and I'll be getting more done including the rear brace and installing the 15 tooth pinion.

With the 23 tooth its geared for around 82mph on 6s which is a little bit much hahahaha

I'm using yours and v8hatch's builds as my models to go by, both AWESOME builds and will be happy if mine is 1/2 as cool when its done
