"December 1, 2005 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 cosy."

that chainsaw was fuckin awesone

^^ yeah; with 412 @ 430 it seems odd that it looks like it is bogging down.

12/1/2005 9:21:12 PM

412/430 out of a 454 huh? is it a stock reman unit or something. gk2004 could probably shed some more light on that.

^^ true - it is interesting that it "keeps you warm" by diverting the coolant though.

^ would be good for an herb garden I suppose.
