Motor Model
Last weekend we went to the craft store looking for something that would be useful to build a model of the motor. I was originally thinking a foam block that could be trimmed, but then we spotted some cardboard boxes that were about perfect. They are 11.75″ diameter and the motor is 11.45″, close enough. Here are some pictures of the process and what the model looked like in the engine bay. I’ll probably continue with cardboard to add detail to the ends and a dowel through the middle to act as the shaft. Working up the adapter to go between the motor and the transmission is still going to be a challenge. Molly Cat said she’d help me figure it out.
I’d like to go with the WarP11 because of the weight of the car. I may have some issues with clearing the steering rack though at that diameter.
