I'm looking to build the narrowest go-cart drivetrain possible. Just thought maybe someone here would have some insight.
I'm mostly just curious if a torque converter (aka: torq-a-verter) can be mounted solely on jackshafts directly behind the engine.
Here's what I'm working with...
The plan is to have it as my pit vehicle next year's drag racing season. The trailer will be built up too, so I can carry the air bubble, tools, and other track supplies... And the cooler of course...
Steel chassis, gutted body, no suspension, rubber tires, hydraulic brake, chrome hood stack, as stock looking as possible.
Only real issue I'm having so far is measuring and figuring out how to fit the drivetrain because of how narrow it is.
I need to run a "cvt" clutch, due to the fact it needs torque to pull the car back if needed, and for speed when I need to get somewhere. But they are huge, and definitely would not fit if bolted to the side of the engine.
Ideas?
