If you're tired of anaemic, one-lung snowblowers with their slipping drive belts, you might consider Kai Grundt's V8 snow blower which raises the bar on the traditional snow blower in every respect. With electric start, electric block heater, antifreeze heater and eight cylinders, it has no drive belts to freeze up and you'll never get bored with the job as the 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower, 430 foot pounds of torque and can throw snow 50 feet at just 3500 rpm. Nor will you get cold as the machine has been ingeniously
designed to route the engine coolant through the handle bars, with the rear mounted, enclosed radiator keeping the operator nice and cozy. (IMG:http://www.crystalridge.net/stuff/blower1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.crystalridge.net/stuff/blower2.jpg) |

Then, I pulled up the thread..... :stupid: |

Well, I think I'd have used a 9" so we could change gears based on conditions...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

FYI it's a small block, not a big block. But still cool.

Look at the valve covers, more than two bolt "divots" (which small blocks don't have anyway). It is, in fact, a big block (but it's really hard to tell). http://www.v8snowblowers.com/id15.html |

I saw how close the exhaust was on the center 2 primaries and the headers bolck a better view of the valve covers.
