Chassis / Frame build?
« on: November 05, 2013, 08:37:00 am »
Ive built 20 mph offorad mowers, but i want to get into racing and i know my way arount an engine so thats covered, but ill admit i suck at setting up frames. I was wondering if someone could make a parts list for me? I plan to run a horizontal shaft engine that is going to be chain driven to the rear axle. Or a torque converter with a vertical.  Thanks

Briggs Flathead / new race mower engine options?
« on: October 31, 2013, 09:51:50 am »
Hi, i'm starting a new race mower build that i plan to go all out on. I'm stuck on two engines to use. My first option is a Briggs opposed twin. I know they have a lot of low end torque, and they are good for getting out of corners and what not. Or a briggs vanguard horizontal because they seem to be quite good at top end. could you give me an idea? I'm deciding based on: performance parts availability, engine life, and ease of modification. Thanks!

Briggs Flathead / Briggs oppy race build price?

Hey, i was looking around and this question popped into my head: how much would it cost to build a race ready opposed twin? Also, what are other upgrades (besides engine modding) that would increase speed?

Would a 19.5 hp briggs oppy fit on a frame designed for an 18.5hp oppy?
