I work at the local Harbor Freight and we've received word that a 670cc 22hp v twin engine with electric start is on it's way. It may be here by the end of May or even earlier, since we'll be reorganizing the engine planogram in a few weeks. It appears to be a Honda gx660 clone based on the specs and some of the pictures. Regular price is listed at $600. I was going to get the 420cc clone to replace my aging Tecumseh, but this might be worth waiting for.

That's OK, I have absolutely zero issues with building a frame from scratch for this titan.
And then we'll start seeing billet rods, flywheels, big-valve heads, forced induction & more goodies pop up for them. :grind:
This engine would make for a seriously bangin' chopper. Stubby, fat little wheel in back, nice, tall, thin wheel in front with TONS of rake.
And drag pipes. Drag pipes all day. And flames on a mini peanut tank. And chrome, lots of chrome.
And then couple that up with a snowmobile TAV, and we have absolute goodness... or a high-RPM centrifugal clutch for fun, hard launches.
This... is gonna get really out of hand I feel. :deal:

Oooo... I had another thought. It'd be pricey, but what if they took four of the little 79cc jobbies, cast all for casings together (as one unit initially), and then built a 316 inline 4?
That would be one hell of a go-kart engine. I'd buy one in a heartbeat just to have it, provided the price-tag wasn't astronomical.
Or do 4 212's for an 848cc I4... and then upgrade the poor little guy all day long with billet EVERYTHING.
Or 4 420's... for a 1680cc I4... Can you say absolutely ridiculous amounts of torque???
My imagination is just running away from me. I get excited when I hear about cool, inexpensive, new things come out.

The little IHI there can be made to spool on a 5hp Briggs flathead. I didn't do it, but Margaykart79 did for an engineering school project.
The larger Garrett can support ~60-150hp.
