 Getting old is a serious B***H..... I was reading a post on the forum yesterday that had a picture of an early Kawasaki four cylinder, four stroke, 1000ccc engine that came out of a snowmobile. I can't remember which thread it was in.....can anyone help? Buzz

Did not see the thread, but, there is a hot Kawi powered sled here in town.. ex dragbike blown engine.. detuned a bit.. puts out around 400 hp This guy has sleds that run 8 sec 1/4 miles on pavement.  could it be that one? Heard a sled ran at WOS.. anyone know how fast and where it was from? |

754, I'd have to look carefully to give you the precise numbers, but it was from Quebec and ran just a tad over 200 -- enough to get the rider, Francis, Morin, into the 200 MPH Club (albeit with a wite bunch of controversy about whether a snomo should be in the Club, but that's another story). 202 or so was the speed. Yamaha snomobile (nee motorcycle 1000 cc engine on alky and about 3%).

754,
No that's not the one.
This was just a photo of the engine. It was a early Kawasaki KZ1000 engine. The engine was different because the cases ended just behind the chrank and it had no transmission.
It really not that important I just want to take another look at it.
Thanks,
Buzz
