Porsche at one time during testing did put the V8 in one of the 956s or 962s for testing. I have seen a few photos of that configuration in some of the books, but not easily found on the Internet. I'll post it if I come across it again.

I just have to say, you guys are doing some amazing stuff. Does anyone have any good sources for educating oneself on monocoque design? I would love to see plans on a 962 just for the sheer reading. I guess that's just the Welding Teacher in me talking though.

Thank you all for sharing your builds..

BTW, you earned my first post here.

I'm guessing this forum isn't read as much as I previously thought.

That is not the issue. The issue is that only a very small group of people can answer your inquiry. Maybe they have not read your post or maybe they don't want to respond. Either way, a snide comment probably isn't going to get you an answer faster....

I wasn't trying to post a snide comment. If I were I would have replied to my own comment welcoming me to the board after a week. Have a nice day...

I'm an Indiana High School Vocational Teacher in a dual credit environment. It's pretty neat thinking students can graduate high school with up to 16 college credits. The students and I are currently working on building a duplicate to my vintage dragster in chromoly, but would love to build a monocoque design with a class in the future.

Nice to meet you bud. Sorry to interrupt all.

Old Tin Rods: Rather than being a keyboard commando, you're actually doing something constructive to preserve dwindling skill sets and working to enhancing the technical abilities of the next generation. I thought your response to "winders" was temperate and not reactive. I, as a retired architect, say good on you! If I had the drawings for a monocoque, you can bet I'd send them to you. There are several racing teams located in Indiana that deal with CF monocoques that might be willing to assist. Just a thought.

Fastest times are as follows:

11.19 in a 1/4
7.25 in an 1/8

If you feel like a good cry here is the history of that dragster..
