Summit online are as convenient as anyone for rod ends.
For a simple wishbone layout and geometry have a look at MX5's or C5 Corvette for ideas.

Claimed horsepower sceptic. -
Been a bit busy with other stuff but have managed to sneek out after the kids were in bed a few nights and make a start.
Have pulled the engine from the camry and started to strip the back of charade. Now the engine is out it looks fucking enormous. Bit worried about clearance on the right hand side of the engine where the pulleys are.... that might limit any options for suspension changes at the back. Maybe when the A/C compressor, power steering pump and steering rack disappear it won't look so bad.
Anyway have started to take some measurements and will throw it all into autocad and see what the options are.

It'll look a lot smaller once all the superfluous shit is stripped off. They fit north/south in early Toyota's easy enough but still not a compact engine.GT8

What is with that smell every time you walk into an Aldi?
I'm assuming it's something to do with all the cardboard boxes. Smells like eastern Europe, the fall of communism and peasants.Comment

No need for all that Autocad malarkey
Tape measure and gas axe is all that's required
Get to it

I've been plugging away at this in the evenings and have finally got the engine tacked into place. Fits like a tongue in a bum...
Also picked up some seats and harnesses for a couple of hundred.. pretty terrible but will do for a start I reckon
Next I want to make a start on the cage but need to get my lathe set up so i can make up a 50mm die for my bender.Comment

It's a shame you can't register something like this (assuming you do it properly of course)I own a two and a half litre CommodoreComment

If you did the required torsional and rigidity testing you might be able to pull it off. there is nothing that says you can't change the drive from one end to the other.Comment

Should leave the power steering rack in it for lols so it turns like a forklift.Comment

how does the engine come out now?Originally posted by MarvComment

Fabric rollback sunroof?"Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."Comment

To get the engine out i unbolt the subframe and strut tops, lift the shell up and roll the lot out. This will be how most major work on the engine will have to happen i think. Going to try and make it as easy as possible to disconnect stuff to do this.Comment

Awesome project, if youre planning on running in some of the local sprint events you might come up against a little green suzuki hatch with a bike engine (i think?) in teh back
sounds incredible and is pretty quick
