I come off as a violent person...??

The White Snoop Dogg simply can't be seen as violent

Yeah, super stoked about the R632. Just absolutely annihilated a pile of the guesswork.

Except the engine model isn't the same as the picture?? Or did you change the model to show a carb and distributor setup?

Right, your right. The CAD file is carbureted big block 572. It's the same block. I'm just going to have to account for the valve covers. Valve covers on the 632 look about an inch or so further outward.

Why would you put a 632 in an U4 car?

He's not. This is just a CAD model and won't become an actual U4 car.

After all this work and CAD drawings and hyping it up, there is no way possible that this will not come to fruition. I don't doubt it will win hammers, just look at all the details.

I know for sure, the top 2 finishers at King of the Hammers this year were in the 900 horsepower range. I don't have any doubts about this engine. It's going to be around for a long time.

While we're dreaming I want a buggy with a 7.3 Godzilla.

Assuming KOH won't be all EV's by time this is finished.

Not going to mess with the scrub radius. Although it looks like I should do the work to grab lighter spring rate by upgrading the front shocks from 12" to 14" because I've got the room. I'll have to figure the geometry to lean them in some. Might make the coilover thinner, and the bypass thicker while I'm at it.

going all out with the custom one-off coilovers and bypasses..dope!

Thanks. Actually, all these shocks are on the shelf at King. Unless I end up landing in a situation where I have to rotate some of the bypass tubes, but I don't think I will run into that. Guess we'll find out soon.

 

[MetalCraftSolved]

This is what the difference in shock placement looks like upgrading from 12" to 14". The thinner 2 inch coil-overs will make room for 4 inch King-Kong bypass shocks.

No updates lately? Been out on a shakedown/test run yet?

And still, every time I see this thread subject line, I get excited because I think its about a Cat D6 dozer.

I admire this post genuinely, I have the same thoughts. The computer work on this was nothing short of phenomenal. Given what seems to be a deep down interest in motorsports and some viable talent it would be awesome to see it managed and productive.

I bet this thing is SHREDDIN by this point

DY-NO-MITE!

 

[StretchASU]

Will this thing have disc brakes in the back? If not, I hope plans change or else this thing will never be able to stop.

 

[tkeaton]

To stop, one must start.

In the case of Dynamite Designs, as is the case here, its a non-starter
