    For gits and shiggles

    I have no plans of trying this, maybe. But has anyone tried putting a HD 88 inch or other engine in their 6x6? I know everyone likes the Briggs or Kohler or even predator twins. But if you were building the ultimate all American amphibious ATV why not a Harley engine? Just thought about it while scrolling market place looking for Briggs opposed twin engines for back ups.

    There have been some wild ones, but i don't know of a HD conversion. Griffins have/ had a 4 cylinder ford in a Max 4 that was stupid fast.

    It's a Pinto engine and it is in a Max II. They trail ride it and have raced it. racerone3 is right, stupid fast. They had it at Pine Lake last June.

    Here is a picture of it. It is the blue one.

    That sounds like a wild ride. I've seen and read some of diesel and 3 cyl conversions, those are pretty cool also. Craigslist and marketplace get my gears turning depending what I see for sale.

    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Steve (car guy) has a Super Swamp fox with a three cylinder Chevy Geo aluminum block engine in it. Light, dependable, goes like crazy.
    Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.
