Thanks man... the good news is that today was the last day I'm coaching for awhile (last game was today) and I have my final this Tuesday so life should go back to normal (whatever that is) and I'll have more time to finish this darn thing up. I really wanted to get some snow wheeling in this winter but it just wasnt in the cards.

I'm enjoying you build as well man... keep it up!
 
little more done:

I have to stop there though because plans have changed.... something a little bigger is going up front now and I"m not sure if things will need to be moved around a bit.
 
"Something a little bigger is going up front" :eek:

You are outta control, man! C'mon! Spill it! What's up?
 
LOVE the x member my man!
Ive gotta get a bender!!!!!
 
:lol: A bigger motor, gotcha. I thought you were going to put a bigger front axle in.

Looks great man!

something about 415hp and nearly 500 ft lbs or torque that is hard to turn down.

On 'pane? That's epic. Good thing you've got 'tons to support all that power!
 
You're going to need plenty of propane storage to keep that BB fed! I'm starting to think you might be a little crazy. :p
 
Good thing you swapped in the T400. Are you sticking with 42s still?
 
not too much to look at yet but... Here's the 454. It has the 049 heads and a newer block. I'm hoping the previous owner increased the compression (which I'm inclined to believe he did if he knew enough to run these heads) when he rebuilt it not too long ago. When its done it should be about 415hp and 500 ft lbs of torque. I can live with that. :) Maybe in the future my 60 will end up towing a future buggy? I think it'd be cool to be able either wheel the tow rig OR a buggy after you got to the trail.
