i found a trike out at a scrap yard with a motor andrear end and all but i have the lil 4 banger out of my luv with only 50,000 milesm on it that im gunna use and also the rear end out of it too. im in the process of a v8 swap. so i have all the parts, wires,tranny, rear end, radiator...etc!
and i also get the thing fo free cuz im a good friend with the owner of the yard! and have no use of the extra parts and really want one! it will kinda be like this but it will only be one seat and motor behind the seat! wiyh the stick right next to my right leg

that's a neat idea! the volkswagen looks a lot more comfortable to drive than the first one. I really am curious about how the luv manual transmission would work in the trike????

no what would be really fun is a big block chevy! but i already have the lil 4 banger... well i do have a 429 bb ford! but i would need to put it all together and bring it all to the machine shop and that would be way too much money for what im wanting to do! all i want is jus a cheap lil project on the side.

A BBC in a trike would be a ride. SUICIDAL would be more like it!!!!

I was always a fan of the Tri-Magnum too, I guess it's actually a reverse trike though.
