Check this out. http://www.hossflyinc.com/home.html I watch Stacey David build one of these on "Gearz"...It was hot. The "Hoss Fly". A V8 powered BAR STOOL! And you can buy the compltete kit. Cam.....this iwll make you start thinking....
Wow! That is cool! Beans to you for such an odd find. I bet it is wild to drive. It will pull the wheels with ease... $8K for small vblock $10K for big block .. ..
You sit right on top of the motor. The seat screws into a shaft on top of the air cleaner. No brakes... It uses the hydrostatic driven trans/rear combp unit to slow down. Watching it being driven... if you let off the gas completely at high speed you will be smashed into the steering wheel. WHen I first saw it.... it sort of looked like you might try to slow it down Fred Flinstone style.
I am sure it needs more HP and Torque. The smalllest/lightest I was ever in was a Hardtop Corvair with a 350 V8 The engine came out of a Nova that ran low 11's. I also helped build it. The car would not stay off the back bumper. The guy came back and put a stock 327 in it to settle it down some (and to save on the constant replacement of rear spider gears). ..
