2013 Midwest Super Cub FXS (CUBZILLA)
« on: January 23, 2013, 06:35:33 pm »
Not doing a build thread, but ill post some pics as I go. Engine will be a 44 cube kohler command single cylinder. The two carbs that will be tested are a tilly hr-191 and a custom billet 44mm tilly from tillitson racing in Ireland. Diamond racing short skirt gas ported pistons. One off valvetrain. Full roller motor. No stock parts in this motor. It will be a horizontal shaft because I hate belts. This motor will be 8 more cubes than the motor I ran nationally in CP last year.

Drew, is there enough meat left in the cylinder, opposite of the pushrod galley, to hold a gasket, and keep it from blowing out? looks mighty thin there, but the bore is HUGE! :woo:

Question is like all fxt engines, you can have all power in there but can your chassi handle it and i working on building my own kohler horizontal with small block. Cant wait to see yours. Are you running a crank trigger?

Yep. Been taken care of. Had to offset bore it cuz the valvetrain is the weak spot. Welded the fins in on the back side a bit and NiCom coated it. Stronger than factory. 4" piston. The trial and error on that has been done already.
Chassis will be fine. Been doing homework in another country. The only issue ill have is finding tires with enough lug on them for the tracks we run in the north. (grass, loose dirt, etc) will prolly have to run 18" turf masters sometimes.

It'll be about 10# heavier cuz of the crank. Doeant matter though. Need the weight.

 Drew was the tilly HD considered as a carb choice. It's much larger then the HR.

This started out as a HM-1, but we had them change some stuff on it.

From the desk @ MWSC "Block for the FXS, Total of 44 cubic inches with a projected 80+ HP and 75 ft lbs of torque. Should be a handful to drive. Billet steel crank, billet rod, 1.8 Rockers, custom made by Comp Cams, 42mm custom made Tillotson carb, crank trigger ignition, billet aluminum flywheel, big Titanium Valves with copper seats and PAC racing valve springs. If anyone else wants an engine like this they are $4900.00 no core required."

I can't wait to see engine and mower complete.  My guess it's a Deere or Cub Cadet

It will look like a 122 cub cadet like our pulling tractors. Retro look.
