A bit of volume to appreciate the exhaust fabrication

Will be good to see it finished, those guys usually come over to UK in the summer to drag race

I saw this about a week ago with the engine in the car - the guy is my hero as I've wanted to build something like that for the last 10 years. I bet it is fricken naaaaaasty on the road!

Yea that's pretty cool, but he can only drive it as far as the lawn hose reaches:crazy:

Cool project but I hope he can keep it together. They were not the most reliable of outboards, mostly because of 8 carbs. I saw quite a few in the day running on 7 cylinders because a rod was hanging out of the block.

Yeah that is an awesome idea. The motor running video was on here about a year ago.

If you look at the yellow tape over the intake near the front subframe, he has come up with some kind of injection system and got rid of the carbs.

But I have no idea how he thinks the top end will get any lubrication running mixed gas. Oil is heavy and that is a long way for it to go. The last thread we had about this, someone found a dune buggy on a dyno with a 2 stroke outboard. It was turned on its side which I think is a better idea.

In high school we build a mid engine sand rail frame for our shop teacher, and we used a Johnson 275hp outboard boat engine with a beefed up VW IRS transaxle with a custom adapter plate. It flew at Glamis! 2-strokes rule.

We didn't get to do shite like that at school, think I made a toast rack:wondering

We had a very cool teacher his name was Mr. Freeman and he was quite the free spirit. Older guy, Glamis manic, hot young chicks everwhere...unreal! Fun times.

He would come to me and my buddy and say hey you guys have been doing this all your lives do you want to build a sand rail and a Mazda pre-runner truck?
OR weld a bunch of scrap together? Plus you get a budget & a A+ grade for the year.

We didn't think about it for long! LOL

Yeah i found that on youtube about 6 months ago. Its pretty cool. Isnt the expansion chamber for well, expansion because the exhaust is still burning some when it comes out?:wondering

Flames are good no?
