Snowstar and Larry....
What did you guys do to hold the engine in place for torque stops? I only am using the stock Edge one now. Im not convinced but on my old chassis i had a stop off the mag side shock tower pushing on the mag housing and thats the side that broke all to hell.
granted i only have about 12-14 rides on this bulkhead and it only had 400 miles on it when i got it but theres no signs of any cracks and i didnt reinforce it anywhere.

My 1200 project begins
So this was night one. Ripped the bulkhead out and started mock up. Mock up mock up mock up someone here said. So im getting ready to drill the motor plate and I decided to wait for the Tyson drop and roll to get here first. I will mount the shaft and housing then recheck my math. Just in case. I checked the runout and it is okay so this weekend I can mill my water rail and flycut my cases. I got the inside on seting up the stock extra-lite skid from Curtis up at Fastrax and Brad at Poweraddictions got me a smokin deal on an XCR ignition. So at this point I know alot of you have heard of both of these guys so I just wanted to confirm I have done buisness with both of these guys and I am very pleased with all the products and info from both. They are always willing to answer questions and give their input. Did I mention excellent product? Thanks Curtis and Brad. My project would not be going as smooth if not for you guys. More pics as I come along.
