I am just starting your build series.... you started with a relic of a 900. Just FYI that thing makes about 125 corrected on a good day. I might say a lot less. The 950 Big bore kit and some cams will wake it up pretty quickly. It is over valved from the factory. Port speed is too slow. Shift forks are weak spots as well as 2nd and 5th gears on the dog and slots. Getting them hard welded and undercut is a cheap and effective solution later on. The clutch is way more than enough for all the power you can throw at it so thats a good thing.

Hi, I like your builds when will this build come out look forward to it.

[@ModzandMore413]

Hi Steven, So I'm holding off on this one for a little because we might end up using this engine on the 2x4 solid axle build if the one in there ends up being a dog. It's for sure a bit small for a buggy of that size lol! Fingers crossed

What transmission and differentials are you gonna be using on this project?

[@ModzandMore413]

I have 2016-2022 Mazda Miata diffs for front and rear with a T90 transmission. I'll have to build some kind of front wheel drive disconnect to shut down the front when not in use.
