StreetBeasts 427 Cobra Motor Mounts

This video is about making custom motor mounts instead of the ones supplied with the kit. I am going for strength and power transfer. The mounts supplied by StreetBeast were a bit chinsy for the HP I want to put in this cobra.

isnt it bad for u-joints to have zero angle?

[CoolCarsHotGuitars]

I would say that it is impossible to have zero angle. The motor is always moving and the rear suspension moves as well. The stress on a u-joint under load is more evenly distributed the straighter the axle is. Once the drive shaft moves and puts a vector stress on it there are only a couple of points absorbing all of the load. Keeping it straight reduces the chances of blowing it out under extreme loading.

Sounds good, can you post a video after you get the doors working?

[CoolCarsHotGuitars]

A little slow waiting for the owner and some parts. But I am working on the Lambo door hinges and fitting the body parts.
