This is quite excessive. You could have easily gotten by with a large V6 or even a turbocharged Porche engine for that matter. Green up and mind the blue sky, man!
@doktorandom If you care about the blue sky, don't worry about a lawn mower that putts along, worry about commercial passenger jets that use 10,000 gallons of fuel to take off.
@stopglobalswarming OK, been doing some research, and I think I have a reasonable powerplant that is not a V8engine, for this lawn mower. Check this out: Thirty General Electric 747 engines arranged around the periphery of a large ferris wheel, the hub of which is connected to the drive mechanism by a titanium linked belt. This should yeild about 2 million horsepower, but is NOT A V8WASTEFUL ENGINE
Even if these "V8 Lawnmowers" were able to cut the grass, it would be a lost cause.
Because the total weight of the machine would kill the grass over time, through tire tracks. These lawnmowers are cool to me and not redneckish but its a lost cause because it really wouldn't work commercially.
.. 215" (3.5L) all aluminum Buick V8 first appeared in 1952 in a Harley Earl 1953 Buick Roadmaster show/concept car... was sold in 1961 - 1963 Buick Special, Olds F85/Jetfire (turbo'd), and Pontiac Tempest/ LeMans, then shipped to England and in MGB V8's, Triumph TR8's, TVR's, Morgan Plus8, others, and Land Rovers (grew to 4.6L) till about 2000... nearly 50 years... never in LeSabres... can be modded to 305"/5.0L... I have two... one shoehorned into a '75 MG Midget... Buick V6's from this V8...
Who makes riding lawnmower body that big to mount a V8 MOTOR in It?-And-Is that a CHRYSLER 318 V8 in that mower?-318 V8 is the smallest V8's Ive seen in old cars
@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX The body doesn't nessecarily have to be big, especially if the engine is light. Like an old Buick 215ci aluminum V8. More than 100 cubes smaller than the 318 lol.
Which CLASSIC BUICKS had that aluminum 215 engine?-I seriously doupt I can find any of those since OUR GOVERNMENT CONDEMNED USA OLD IRON CLASSICS(*those Detoit iron shoebox chevys,Hot rod lincolns,Mopar motor 426 Racing HEMI) to overseas car makers-lot of 1 huge Rear Wheel Drive cars & trucks are sent to junk yard,& It comes back as 2 FWD STAR TREK**TECH WRECK** so-called vehicles-our USA junked vehicles are AMERICAN ENGINEERED to be Rebuilt & serviced-NOT RECYCLED FROM JAPAN
true, also think of it this way, like christopher titus said, when it comes to war, we build monster trucks, dragsters, and toy rockets for fun, piss us off, see what we build next....just ask japan...lol.
listen to the engine. this is not a real v8. the exhaust pipes coming out of the engine are to close together. you couldnt hook up the drivetrain and mower deck to a normal engine like that because of the position of the drive pulley.

The trannys in the old ones are solid! So it wouldn't actually be as hard as you said. I see you point though.
