    Front suspension id

    I recently picked up a sports racer with 10 inch front wheels. Has 13's in the rear.
    I'm thinking a f500 was used in the chassis build.
    Does anyone recognize this front suspension?
    Thanks

    fx

    FSV can run 1600cc or 1800cc engines. Fuel injection or carbs. All must use 6" and 8" wheels
    I think a 1800 would do really well in this class. Might look the FC class of the early 80's
