And you thought you have an old engine!
Moderators : feel free to delete if this is O/T, but I never knew stuff like this existed! Here is a video of an old I/C engine the likes of which seem to me to be more in the realm of (steampunk) science fiction rather than reality.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsVnPdRjCU4 There's a snow engine down here at fort meade, fl. Shows are in the winter months. Tractors, some cars, hit/miss, massive swap/flea market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN_LBFR9oxU http://www.floridaflywheelers.org/gallery/ Last edited by Tinker; 05-29-2016 at 02:11 PM.

Re: And you thought you have an old engine!
An interesting thing I noticed : The Snow engine in the video I posted has a much more "radical" cam than the the one shown in "Tinker"'s. Look at those cam lobes!

It's sister engine in Rollag, MN. This has some specs as well. I've seen it running in person a few times.

Re: And you thought you have an old engine!
Why is it called a "snow" engine?
