As you have a nice big engine bay how about using a car diff connected to the bike engine. You could directly conect the diff to the engine or shove
the engine as far forward as possible and run a short drive shaft to the diff.

Surely the chain / radical style setup would be much lighter? easy to change ratios..
Engine/ diff setup would be cheaper than car engine/ hewland thats for sure! but it would likely be quite heavy.
Miles off making decisions yet i suppose :/ i think i bike engine in this certainly wouldn't be very competitive in the radical class! i will
have to try and work out what i plan to do with it!

If money is tight forget the hewland box, just get an old VAG car with FWD and an inline engine and drop the lot in to get going.
Plenty of V6 passat's for pennies out there, then bung on a turbo for more oomph.

Hi mark,
I've been looking at the vag boxes, they do seem like they would do the trick, but arent they awful heavy? And how would gearing worth with a
higher reving engine?
I suppose taller Economical derv gears actually make for good gearing for higher reving engines!

hewland mk9 only really are suitable with 13 inch alloys also ..... you can get billet side cases to strengthen them up .
if you want to do it properly , then youll have to pay for decent box , anything else will be a hindrance in a pukka mid engined race car , look at
staffs , elite , etc ....
