this pic is of the living beast after her first run. everything seems to be working, except i didn't hear it shift gears. the roads are wet right now so i couldn't get it going very fast, and i didn't run it long as you can see in the pic it was getting a little wet in the car. i thinks its going to be pretty quick once everythings all set and 2nd gear pops in.
btw, my kb motor does work. it was bad plugs on it. i started putting it together with that motor, but my mount was too far back and the pinion was barely on the shaft. i didn't trust it so i made a new mount this morning for this motor. it should be a higher quality motor anyways.
