Title: Something Else
Post by: SJFast on October 23, 2008 3:41 pm

Here's one of my projects. When I built it in the early 80's it had a 105 hp Rotax engine and a cage. The class died out and it sat for many years. Then I decided to make a "pit mule" out of it to move my restored 60's sprinter around. Now it has a Tecumseh 8 hp engine, Comet torque-converter clutch, and a mid 40's Dodge pickup 3-speed tranny.

It's stored away now....in the cube van you can see in the photos. I faked the Offy stacks and 4-into-1 header just for effect.

With all these weird "fuel efficient" cars you see on the road now, I'd drive the HELL outta that thing. Badass.

that unit looks like a lot of fun (as long as you can stay outta the pedal long enough so the 8 horses dont hit you all at once ;))  haha, but that thing must have been unbelievably fun with the rotax.
