Finally, a great way to use a 253 V8 :)

That was AWESOME!!!!! There is an older series out there called Rides. Its an American thing but they are on a road trip in one episode when they come across a mini truck in a carpark of a super market with a 8 inch diameter stack out the back, when the popped the hood it had a Bell helicopter jet turbine engine in it. Regoed and on the road.

Looking at that radial motor I reckon you could put a pulley where the prop was, V Belt and the back axle off a ride on mower. Shouldn't be to hard to knock up?
