Stacey David built one on Gearz a couple seasons ago. Man, it looks like fun, and it is well thought out. Add your small block Chevy and away you go. Looks like something even *I* could put together...
stacey build one of those on his gears show... basically a bar seat on the air cleaner of a small block engine... the frame was built around the engine...
They had it up to like 35 mph around the parking lot...
I would build a set of custom headers and make em street sweepers...those pipes are ridiculous.
I saw that episode of gears this morning while I was doing paperwork...that thing is ridiculous. I don't think I could trust that hydrostatic trans to stop me, I have had way too many of those blow on forklifts and leave me with no brakes at all whatsoever. That would be a crap way to go if you couldn't stop on that thing.
