Free engine and racing lawnmower build

[cd2781]

Scored a free briggs 5.5hp OHV engine today. I guess its time to start the racing mower build. Question is, do i use the briggs or one of the two clones i have laying around? Or maybe find a twin cylinder four stroke bike engine and make it absolutely scary haha.

All depends on the rules if you are really gonna race it.

Just to let you know Briggs and Stratton animal racing parts can fit that motor

Or you can do what I'm gunna and get a 100hp 600cc Ninja motor and put on it. That way I will have someone to race against! We can start our own race class. It would go something like:

-Stock
-Mod
-Super Mod
-Pro Mod
And then
-Stupid Mod
-Scary Mod
-Deathwish
.... lol

Well yes the Briggs Animal parts will fit that motor. But The animal is a race motor. $$$
I would use one of your clones. WAY more aftermarket parts and info. Cheaper more readily available parts and more guys around here have experience with them too.

I was thinking use the clones too. Ill just freshen the briggs up. I was wanting it to be a flathead but it turned out to be ohv when i went and got it so o well
