Hey All!
As already stated, I'm a completely green noob. Used to spend a lot of time up on 2, but due to a work injury and spinal fusion surgery, that's out of the question. Here we are a few years down the road and I'm itching to get back into the wind, so I decided I'm going to build a trike. Now, I'm the sort of anal idiot that has to have everything designed, engineered, over-thought, scrapped, re-designed, re-engineered and toyed with on paper before I ever pick up a tool and start....but once I have that design hammered out to my satisfaction, the rest is nothing but pure fun.
So, I'm looking for some design ideas from you more experienced trike builders/riders. As I know, if you ask 10 riders their opinion on something, you'll get 20 opinions....but here goes....
I'm thinking I'd like to go with a small Chevy engine, maybe a 2.2l or a 4.3 on a mid-engine trike. I'm probably going to end up raping an S10 for the engine, drive train and rear axle, then put it on a custom frame with link lead forks.
Anyone with ANY input ideas, your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.
