New Toy!

Check out my latest toy!

The problem is its carb'd & Bennie has'nt a clue! haha

Can you say 871 Weiand, w/ two 850 carbs. hahahahahahahahahaha

If the TPIS & 300 shot of N20 doesnt do it, this will.

BTW, it really is that big!

Holy crap that thing is huge! Might have a problem fitting it under the stock hood though.

But are the blower rotors any good? Carbs any good? Carb rebuild would be the easy/cheap part. Rotor/blower casing fix fixing.......

That pic of Bennie is classic.

I haven't a clue what those normally go for, but I'm sure 5 is a steal.

Re: New Toy!

OK, I've had my fun,
The carbs are new working 850's, the blower is a new 871....but its an empty display unit used at Kragen Pro Shops.

I was just BS'ing w/ one of the guys at Kragen about how I'd buy it if the price was right, he called me back & said its yours for $500.

I thought it would look cool in my lobby waiting room area, so I bought it & put it on my old motor.

I was right, it does look cool in my lobby.
