V8 Cub Cadet

[BTDT]

The caberator is is a square bore, never turned one around but I do not know why it would not work, it is the same bolt pattern front and back and the same cfm for primarys and secondarys

After looking a little closer, thats just an intake horn on top, where it fits on top of carb is probably where they spun around, not the whole carb itself. Somebody has more time and money than I do, that's for sure.

Take an even closer look, the Eldelbrock tag on front of the carb is pointed towards the back of the engine. The throttle pulls toward the front of the engine.

I didn't notice any cooling system. Must be a drag machine.

My dealer noticed this thread and sent me a few more pics to post along with a little more info...

"Just for your notes, the cadet does have over 200 hooks or pulls on it with the current set-up. It is thru the original 1450 Cadet rear end and hydro. The Cadet was bought as a winter rebuild as the engine was bad. Didn't really need another mower and the 5 liter was just sitting there without a home is how it got started. He currently just finished a second one for someone that liked his."

I like the "Floor IT!" painted on the accelerator.

So is the engine turning a hydraulic pump that pushes the juice that turns the hydro tranny? That would be my guess.

That's how it works. It is a stock rearend and hydro.

I hope it has a good scattershield...

Could have used a marine camshaft to reverse rotation of the V8.

Wow, that's a project and a half.

How does it mow across slopes?

I'll have to bring that up to them! They currently ahve a couple of them out and they are doing more chassis as they did a 318 deere for a green lover but had to put in a cadet rear to hold it together.

The unit in the pic's has over 400 pulls on and they have another one which is stretching the relability of the cadet system. The new one is a 327 block plus that they feel is over five hundred horse power and they are eating some parts.

The pucker factor is high, but it is his wife that runs it!!!!!!
