Cole, thanks for the effort on the pictures. That plate mounts up against the back of the bell housing is what I can see in that picture. Is that correct? How many bolts holding the bellhousing to the engine does it capture? Don't you have a tail housing support on the back of you Atlas mounted via bushing to the undercarriage?

yeah your're correct, It captures 2 bolts. Yes I have the atlas support.
 
Hard mount is the way to go. Been doing it for many years on the trucks we race and they are puttin out way more hp and take about the same abuse as a buggy. Very little breakage and when it breaks it is usualy due to a crash.

We will find out if I ever get it done... I brought it home 3 weeks ago and have not touched it since. I am waiting on parts and time off to work on it :dunno:...
 
Are people hard-mounting aluminum engines or just the iron-blocks?

I am not sure it seems to me that I would probably want to use a bushing or rubber mount for an aluminum block maybe somebody can chime in and educate us...

Thats a cost effective set up. I have a template copy of a roark tail support I will glady email to you. I had one, a roark support, that I purchased a long time ago. I traced the dimensions and sold it and recouped my money.

Thanks for the helpful info Cole.
 
OD green amd desert tan have been ruled out, my powdercoater could not guarantee the color with the clear finish... Oh well, I have seen to much of that color in my life already!

Would have been different anyway....sure you've seen enough though. lol

Buddy of mine done a bike in flat black and a flat green....it looked damn good. When he told me about it, I thought WTF? Turned out really nice though. One of the best looking Harley's I've ever seen.
 
Very nice rig ! I love the looks of it . Maybe one day I could get Jimmy to build me a buggy .
