Ant awd projects going on?

[californiacuda]

For some reason, I can't seem to get awd out of my head. At Sema I saw a frame with some engine components installed. I think it was going to be a project by Troy. I wonder if anybody else has anything intering going on. I also wonder how a mid engine awd system would be set up. Any ideas? Thanks.

I remember the chassis. Rad Rides is building that car for Barry Grant

Here's a link to the '49 Delivery that Troy's shop is doing. I'm sure it's much farther along that the pictures, but it's still cool to look at! Their site doesn't give much detail as far as the drivetrain. The rear looks to be Corvette (which generation? I don't know them that well). I could guess at the front setup, but probably not accurately.

Edit - after looking closer at some of the pics, I think the front end is out of an S-10?

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you check off the box that said blower? How about crank driven for a little extra flair?:hail:

It's a C4 Dana 36 rear suspension and I think it's the later model w/revised camber strut pivots (lower roll center to reduce jacking) that has the parking brake incorporated in the rear calipers (the earlier ones had an ordinary drum brake type parking brake system) Weird that they used the much weaker Dana 36.

The front end, looks like it came out of a typhoon or a cyclone.
