96 chevy LS swap.. also my race mower

just wanted to show my last truck i built. i have the truck for 6 years i got it from the 2nd owner.. i pulled the old run down poor V6 that had well over 300k with a 5 speed. i built a 5.3 with 243 heads milled down to bring the compression up to 10.8 to 1.. all arp bolts, 595/598 lift 234/236 on a 112lsa, the heads was fully ported pack valve spring, ported TB, long tube headers, 3600 stall full built 4L60E trans, it dyno out to 425 rear wheel HP..















this is my new toy.. 75hp race mower lol that does 90+ mph

the last pic of the truck is a video of it running right before i sold it.. just click on it, if you want to see a video of the race mower and it turning 9000rpm's let me know i can dig it up off youtube..

DAMM! That mower is BADASS!

DZL1.

So you sold the truck? Man im building an 88 right now and that swap would be awesome.
And uh hell yeah we want to see a mower turning 9grand!!!!

Ok here you go.. I was hot lapping at a kart track..

Thats freaking sweet....got any close up pics of how the suspension is setup on that thing? I rode a stretched wheeler last year at the track with a gsxr1000 motor on it and it was a handful compared to my Busa...im sure that thing is a blast in the corners

There is no suspension its like a go kart.. the rear is a 1 1/4 chromolly axle the front is fully adjustable I can set caster/camber toe and that how I make it turn.. the left rear lifts going in the turn to take the bite off that wheel.. its a had full driving it I just run 6 laps on that track and had to stop, cuz my hands started hurting trying to hold on lol..

The motor is a lawn mower motor not a motorcycle motor. It started life as a V-twin kohler the heads was CNC machine full ported, stainless valves, 1.6 comp cam roller rockers, roller lifters, roller cam 550 lift, je pistons, billet rods, 8 pound flywheel, but there is more done you get the point lol

My lil bro doing a burnout on a racing mower, at a car show put on at his shop...



That sumbitch can cover the whole block in tire smoke before the turfmasters finally pop.

And it goes about 80 mph...at least that's as fast as its owner took it before he pussed out, he did end up crashing it pretty good one time.

where did he race it at? looks cool as hell.. we race dirt circle tracks all over TX.. are next race is in hondo tx

The guys that own that mower live in Florida, they loaned it to my lil bro to show off with at his car shows. They have shows all the time down at his shop. Florida is nuts with car shows, there's several each weekend. No idea where the guys that own it used to run it but I can tell you personally it's a blast running it up and down the streets around the shop, the cops are cool with the shop, we never got hassled.
