[Where did you get the engine? How much did it cost? Did you go with the 28 Hp for size or cost?]

I got the engine on EBAY (Like the one that's on there now) I bought it from a guy in Washington state. I think the name of the company was coldwater tractors or something like that. I paid $975 for it (I had to pay for shipping) They guy was great and I would recommend him anytime.

I went with the 28 HP because I had read an article in the newpaper about 3 or 4 years ago that stated that the average car on the freeway uses on average about 25 HP to go 60-65 MPH. (That was really when the idea started) I looked for several years before my brother bought a Jinma 284 and called me saying how much power it had, when I found the engine on Ebay, I bought it.

Thanks,
-Dan-
