Zeus Build

Re:

Haven't made much progress lately, had to put in a new ac unit at the house - the ol lady kept saying something about 90 degrees not being ok inside and didn't like my response that everyone was doing it 100 years ago... Anyway now that the ac is done back to my real evening project.

After the spaghetti like header mess that will be my buddy's gt 2.0 project I figured I'd take the easy route and order up a Box-o-Headers and just weld them up, only minor figment necessary. After one side only took about an hour from opening the box to fully tacked up I was very happy with my decision. Plenty of clearance for shocks and such. I'll get the other side done tonight.

Where does one go about finding a "box-o-headers" that you speak of?
Also, I'm probably spotlighting my ignorance here but when the engine is facing backwards like that, doesn't the whole drivetrain spin the wrong way? :dunno: Do you just flip the axles upside-down? I've honestly never really looked into it.

I ordered a set of weld up headers from summit - they come tacked together so it is quite easy to make changes as necessary to suit the build = "box-o-headers" :)

You are also correct, the drivetrain will spin the wrong way. However, if you flip the axles upside down the rotation direction will be reversed.

Flipping a Rockwell would be something to see forsure! Extreme low pinion but seriously a reverser box I'm pretty sure?

No need for a reverser box, flipping the diffs will suffice. These are front loaders so it will help me somewhat to flip them, I'll get to go from low pinion to high pinion - not sure how much that'll help given the chunk size though...
 
Wouldn't flipping a axle weaken the R&P? I'm just asking, I have zero knowledge about that? :dunno:

Did you see the size of the ring and pinion?!?

This is next to a np205

Was just being silly... I don't really care what it's called, I just want to wheel and have fun

Re:

I've spent most of my spare time lately working on the cage design. It is far from complete and there are a lot of lines I don't like but here it is so far. Working from a clean sheet is proving to be challenging to get everything to flow right, functionally it is overkill but form needs some work.

Using Solidworks. Actually about to get a 3D printer to see what some of the designs look like in real life (albeit at a small scale).
