@@simplytinkerdad Thank you for the info! I am looking forward to seeing how this is done. I have a Volvo Engine that I want to make onto a Dune Buggy. Thanks for this 😎😎😎😎

This is how it should be done. No overly expensive parts/kits. The rear steer is great. Extra points for the wire holding the coolant tank 👍. Subscribed✔️

This bad boy looks like a fun ride

Very nice and creative 😎👍👍

Love it!! Thank you for a succinct and to the point video!

New subscriber here. Really awesome build my friend. I am starting a channel when it gets a bit warmer here in PA to build a 1928 4 wheel version of a 3 wheel Morgan Special. I have been building a machine shop so that I can make any parts thatr may need made. I am also looking for parts to build a Pembleton. Keep up the great work..

Awesome

I'd like to do one with front engine with a turbo 200r4trans and a gm 3.1 v6 mpfi id like to be able to take in on the road also.. it still has to be a rocket ship with that 3.4 Malibu engine? Cause those things out out like 185hp...

I think it only has around 170hp but it is plenty for off roading and can still do 80mph on the road

could mount the engine sideways and use the axle outputs to drive a differential front and rear for 4wd.

No I wish. The engine sits to far in front of the wheels for the 150hp engine to pull them up but it does nice burnouts

Yes the front axle is torsion spring from vw bug and the back is struts from the donor car

How did you go about the wiring??

@simplytinkerdad

29 күн бұрын

From the donor car I took the majority of the powertrain wiring including the body control module I didn’t know if it would run without it also it saves headaches later if you cut a bunch of stuff out and then something don’t work right That will be irritating. Its all hidden in a suitcase on top of the engine
