Love those front caster wheels. This is for the guy with the BB Chevy snow blower when he needs it.

Looks like the hemi is mounted on a shopping cart base that's attached to the wheel chair.

If I had one of those I'd have to buy me a hydroplane to go with it.

Or a weed-whacker.

Or a blender. Whip up 10,000 margaritas at a time...

What engine is that? not much of an oil reservoir on it.

Rolls Royce Merlin aircraft engine, used during WW II in the P-51 Mustang and others. It ran with a dry sump and an external oil reservoir.

Probably one of those plastic replica engines. You put a real hemi in that mess and the weight would crush it.

At roughly 850lbs, you're probably right. The hemi was lots of things, but light weight isn't one of them.

About 650 lbs with iron heads and intake.
Big difference building a snow blower around a BB Chevy using heavy wall tubing, as opposed to putting a hemi into a modified shopping cart.

I totally agree. Plastic toy.

I saw the shopping cart front wheels and the standard issue wheelchair and knew that it wasnt a real hemi...who the hell would fire THAT up?


Now THIS is what im talking about!
