Polaris quad with a 454 big-block

[Mook]

With a little blood, sweat and some good ol' American ingenuity, almost anything is possible. Whether or not "possible" equals "advisable," well... we'll leave that up to you to decide. In any case, at least one enterprising individual has apparently managed to stuff a big-block Chevrolet engine displacing 454 cubic inches inside the tight confines of a Polaris ATV.

There doesn't seem to be any rear suspension on this quad, so those massive balloon tires will have to suffice. While a smooth ride might be problematic, power won't be. After all, not only is there a 7.4-liter V8 underneath, there are also dual carburetors and long-tube headers. For ultimate ease of use, there's a Turbo 350 automatic transmission slid in between the engine and solid-axle rear end.

Gotta love the effort that went into something like that. Not very practical for real trail riding. I love the concept but if you were going to take a good 12 hour day of riding you'd be tired from wrestling that thing all day and completely deaf.

I'd love to see more of this thing.

It would fucking flip over backwards.
You'd need 6 foot long wheelie bars.
Even then you could only go in a straight line. Watching the vid it looked to be too top heavy and would 3 wheel every time you would try to turn

Sorry to be a downer, But I just think it would be a "track only" type of machine. Still I think it would make an awesome pit vehicle.

One thing. Gas. A 454 isn't exactly as fuel efficient as a say 400cc quad motor... I can't tell where the tank is to guestimate size, but he probably has to fill up every 10 minutes...

Otherwise, excellent conversation piece.
