    Default FWD bike engine nova ???

    Has anyone seen or building a fwd bike engine nova?
    I have seen a kit using a r1 engine in a mini so am in the process of collecting up all the parts I need to do something similar.
    Wondering if anyone else has had this idea?

    You would need some kind of diff set up with a sprocket mounted onto the ring of bolt around the edge

    Not a lot of help to you, but many years ago I bought a Nova with a 900cc Fireblade motor in the front, which was built as front drive.

    It was an unfinished project so I never got a go in it.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

    thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.

    Already got the diff it’s a F20 with a custom housing to hold a 10x10 sprocket. So that’s the hard part.
    Making a frame to hold the engine next, want the use the original engine mounting point as I don’t want to chop my nova around.
