ok I am sure this is posted but I have had no luck finding it. I am seriously looking into building a SP racer from a JD180 that I picked up. I have a old race kart with the hydraulic rear brake and 1 1/4 axle so that is good. I also have a john deere 180 that runs like a champ to build the chassis out of. I have also picked up a peerless 740 tranny to use (powdered gears).
now the good deal is that I have a scrap yard down the road with 15-20 mowers that I can scavenge for parts. I have decided on a building a briggs 28 and running in the SP class. I know that I want a iron sleeved block to start with and I "think" I want one with a nut holding the flywheel on. this is so I can use some different counter weight? not sure about that.
so the question is how to identify the correct briggs 28 to build? I can buy several if that is what it takes.
I am new to mowers but not racing. I have had a couple 150+ mph drag cars and I just build a 100+ HP 1990 Honda pilot. I have all the fab tools needed and some experience. this should be fun.
anyway I know yall like pics.
Possible engine?
current engine runs great
