Snopczynski Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 So my cousin decided to build a drag bike. I dont know everything about them anymore so I want you guys to start naming off some of the crucial stuff we need. He has a stock frame he is gonna chop up and add a sub frame to. I think he wants to build probably a 7 mill something??????????? Cheetah, small block, etc........ What about pipes, he wants out of frames, but they will probably need to have silencers or legalizers on them. I think we may run E85 in it, or full race gas. I was thinking of having mp, packard or K&T do the port work. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Override Tranny (I can hook you up on that), lockup clutch, longer arm, stiffer shock (Marvin or strut) And then the lighter stuff, drag axle, light weight rims/tires, A or J arms, Tie rods, steering stems. If it's gonna be strict drag bike, out of frame pipes. If he's gonna play in the dunes here and there, get inframe pipes. If he's gonna go 7, have him go 10 mil. There is no reason to build a 7 mil bike when a 10 is the same price. I can hook you up with a cheap 10 mil crank, NEW as well....price depends on what bearings you want to run on it. Snop, here's a new site with the ATV drag racers in mind as well...you and him take a look around. http://www.atvdragracers.com/ Quote

dajogejr Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 Yep...he wheels and deals just about everything. No, cleaned up only. Sorry to get off topic, Snop. Quote

dajogejr Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 575 to 675 shipped, depending on what bearings you wanted on it.... New, forged, trued and welded. Quote
kawiking Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 why do alot of people say they want the 7mil.. my buddy really wanted one.. we told him the 10 was the samr price ,so why not... so .. he went with the 10. Quote
Snopczynski Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Posted May 27, 2008 I think he was looking at 7 mill so he didn't have to weld and trench the cases? Quote
kawiking Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 o..i might be wrong, but i belive the 4 mil is the only drop in ... i think u still have to trench for the 7 mil..dont get me lieing... u may want to check on that.. Quote
wesw Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 7mm and bigger you need to trench. it will become battle of the check book, hope your buddy is rich. Quote
Jhughes7 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 o..i might be wrong, but i belive the 4 mil is the only drop in ... i think u still have to trench for the 7 mil..dont get me lieing... u may want to check on that.. Correct, He will have to trench them if he goes any bigger than a 4. Quote
kawiking Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 wow.. i am really learning suff on here .. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 I think he was looking at 7 mill so he didn't have to weld and trench the cases? Depending on what kind of cylinder he gets, it more than likely won't need to be welded. bigger than 4 requires trenching, and 7 or 10 mil crank and castings are usually the same price. The only reason to go with 7 is if you get a steal on a setup or because of class cc size restrictions. Quote
alcoholbanshee Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 As long as you stay with a 115mm rod on a 10mil you dont need any welding. And there are some that do 120mm rods on a 10mil and do not weld. Just luck of the draw on the cases. Just like some throw a 5mil stroker crank in with no trenching and some have to trench for a 5 mil stroker. Quote
