Kawasaki Vintage Snowmobile Factory Race Engine 440 LC Serial # X-108-440.  Yes there is a story on this engine.  This engine was put together by the Kawasaki R&D center in the Minneapolis MN area for one of the riders on the Kawasaki race team.  It looks like a 440 LC Invader engine - it is not!  Here are the modification made on this engine that I was made aware of when I acquired this engine in the mid to late 1980s.

  • Factory ported and polished cylinders
  • Shaved Heads
  • Racing pistons (I believe these are Marco pistons)
  • Balanced crank modified for high RPM
  • Stuffed crankcase to increase compression
  • Set up for Mikuni 40s with an accelerator pump addition (carb boots on this engine are for the Mikuni 40s)
  • Oil pump has been sealed off - engine ran premixed race gas - oil pump could not keep up with engine.
  • Wooden handle on recoil - compression is so high the plastic handles would break
  • Crankcase modified (section where the electric start area is has been trim off and closed up) to fit in race sled.
  • Engine was plate mounted in race sled - note there is no engine mounting plate on the recoil side.
  • Chrome nuts on heads replaced with stronger nuts.
THIS ENGINE WAS A RUNNING ENGINE WHEN ACQUIRED.  It has since never been opened up.  The compression is so high that I never wanted to mess with it.  I takes all I have to pull this engine over (of course I am not a big guy).

Very interesting engine that I have been holding on to because it was unique - but time to let go of it.  I will actually be listing 10-12 engines soon - this is the first.

NOTE: this engine is available for pickup if you wish to avoid the shipping charges.

Shipping for multiple items will be combined for you when possible.

British team, trusty Fiat Panda set new Africa run record

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Fiat Panda driving team consisting of British rally drivers Philip Young and Paul Brace arrived in London today, setting a new record time for the 10,000-mile Cape Town, South Africa to London run in the process. With their time of 10 days, 13 hours and 30 minutes, the team managed to break two records: one for the Cape Town to London run and one for the run between the two cities (in either direction). The former previously stood at 14 days, 19 hours and 26 minutes, while the latter was 11 days, 14 hours and 11 minutes.

By Phil McNamara First Official Pictures 06 December 2006 08:28 Peugeot 207CC: the lowdown Peugeot has re-invented its folding hard roof supermini, the car that brought Mercedes-style roof technology to a wider audience.

Super Bowl XLVIII is in the books. The Seahawks are off jubilating. The Broncos are no doubt home to pick up some off-season junkyard-crawling advice from Denver's own Murilee Martin.
