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.

Hyundai ix35 hydrogen FCEV gets a thumbs up for Fleet buyers

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Hyundai ix35 FCEV on London’s roads Hyundai has been delivering the first ix35 FCEV hydrogen-powered compact SUVs in recent months, and one of the first recipients in the UK was fleet management specialist Arval UK. The reason for Arval getting to play with the ix35 FCEV early doors was to get feedback on the practicality of running a hydrogen-powered car on a company fleet as, with its zero emissions, the ix35 FCEV could find a big market with fleet buyers. What Arval found was that the ix35 FCEV – with 0-62mph in 12.5 seconds and a 369 mile range – was, to all intents and purposes, just like using a conventional ICE powertrain and could be refuelled in just three minutes.
