Whether you want the cleanest lawn in the neighborhood or a speedy project that won’t take up too much garage room, this racing mower has got you covered.
“The engine has the head shimmed down, it has been bored out, ported, bigger intake, carburetor and three angle valve job,” the listing states.
Coolest part? In second gear it comfortably runs at 28 mph, but in fourth it can go over 50 mph.
Top speed? No idea, so why not find out for yourself?

No judgment from me!
Some years ago, I was driving from Austin to Taylor, Texas, for some Louie Mueller barbecue (one of the OG's of Central Texas barbecue).
While driving east on highway 79, I passed a pickup and open trailer that had two drag racing lawnmowers on it. Each mower had what looked like very serious SBC motors, narrow tires at the front, and wide slicks at the rear.
Absolutely cool.
Arg, I have a craftsman mower sitting behind my shop with that same engine basically due to a carb problem (and having a newer better mower). I should really find out where to get a bigger carb for it and fiddle with the thing to make something similar
I got a craftsman with a 18HP twin that I parked due to a carb issue.

When the project GTI sells, you know what the next project needs to be.
