Purchased a used Autocad program yesterday, let the design fun begin.
I did some sketches monday night using scale "block outs"(basically a square/rectangle shape representing the space items take up) of the engine swap wheels and components, plus one of myself. It doesn't turn out too bad.
I'm wondering...more of an aero question though, would it be beneficial to have 2-3 sq/ft of the front bumper open and allow air to flow thru the car via a channel which would pass between the occupants, then widen and flatten passing air under the engine and ultimately right under the exhaust system?
I'm thinking it would decrease frontal area and also counter the wing effect of the cars overall shape providing more neutral aero package at freeway speeds...
