Nice, I like the fact you using a small block motor. I thought most the other smith buggy's out there are BB. A good high HP SB that rev's higher/faster than BB should do pretty well with such a light weight rig. nother question, Did you, or are you, doing all the figuring for the 4-link? from what i hear the key is getting the math down just right to get a 4-link to work well. Is Jimmy giving ya some pointers on how to do it, orr how he uasally does it, or whatever?

Looking good man!!! I'm liken the four link set up, looks nice clean work. I must of been mistaken, i was thinkin they ran alot of the 502's, Maybe i'm thinkin of coleworx.. Maybe you said it, and i didn't read it, but you building the propane set up, or is it a kit from somewhere?-Chris

sure you have enough vertical seperation on the frame end? looks like its going to want to lift under throttle? on 2nd look, maybe it is just the camera angle?
