Default Re: Sandrail build tips, tricks, and stuff learned the hard

ok I am new to this but i have been looking at some of the rails and noticed the engine mounted sideways and to the drivers side. does this affect the balance of the rail? it seems like it would especially in a 2 seater with just the driver. I would think it would want to lean to the left when you catch some air or have more of a rolling tendancy in a hard right turn. I am planning on building a 2 seater using a KZ1000 engine, (i know there are better choices but I have 4 of them) *and i was considering the sideways mount centered then a driveline to a thunderbird 7.5" independant rear with all the thunderbird axles, cvs, brakes, and bearing housings. I could set them up as an A arm or trailing arm possibly even 5 link as i get more education on th different styles and thier pros and cons. I figure it that rear was strong enough for a 4000 lb car with a V8 or a supercharged V6 it should work for a 1200 lb buggy with a little 4 cylinder
