>If you're tired of anemic, one-lung snow blowers with their slipping drive
>belts, you might consider Norm Coffey's V8 snow blower, which raises the bar
>on the traditional snow blower in every respect. With electric start, electric
>block heater, antifreeze heater and eight cylinders, it has no drive belts to
>freeze up and you'll never get bored with the job, as the 454 cubic inch big
>block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower, 430 foot pounds of torque and can
>throw snow 50 feet at just 3500 rpm.
>
>
>Nor will you get cold, as the machine has been ingeniously designed to route the
>engine coolant through the handle bars, with the rear mounted, enclosed radiator
>keeping the operator nice and cozy.

>Maneuvering the massive beast (it has a total wet weight of 912 lbs) is a breeze
>thanks to the hydraulic-drive 4WD skid steer on independent walking beams, which
>offers a zero turning radius. It's also as fast as you like, with an infinitely
>adjustable speed range on the drive wheels via dash mounted flow control. At the
>opposite end of the scale, it has more than enough torque to pull your car out
>of the ditch before the hydraulic motors stall!
>
>
>Adding to the well-balanced feel of the unit, just 15 pounds of down force on
>the handlebars will lift the auger blade off the ground in order to climb
>stairs/walkways for ease of snow removal. Safety has been, and continues to be,
>paramount, with spring return to center "fail safe" type directional controls
>with emergency stop and tether cords.

>Safety is one of the key themes, with a flashing blue light (as required by law
>in many areas) being the least of the safety features. None will fail to hear
>you with those twin throaty exhausts, which come standard with 92 decibels at
>the controls, though if the rumble of a V8 exhaust is music to your ears, you
>can obviously go much louder. Even at the standard baffling, hearing protection
>is strongly suggested.

>The powerful yard machine lights and a dashboard with back lit gauges complete
>the package to ease the burden of this normally reviled task. The custom 42
>inch, two-stage auger has a Chevrolet 10 bolt truck differential with spool and
>a centrifugal auger clutch with shear pin protection, further adding to the
>image of this "automotive theme blower." As each unit is custom-built, optional
>extras for the snow blower are both diverse and outrageous as the base unit -
>there is unlimited auger choices from single to multi stage designs and various
>motor combinations to suit the religious preferences of the customer (Chevy,
>Dodge Hemi, Ford); and such exotica as a V-10 or a diesel engine or remote
>starting can be accommodated. And if, after a while, you feel you've outgrown
>the 400 horses, this particular engine is well catered for in the performance
>modification area, with Lunati camshaft, Milodon Gear drive, Holley and
>Edelbrock components to name a few; and there's always the fuel injection option
>too, if you feel you need to throw the snow out of the county or ensure your
>seat in the "neighborhood blower blingster hall of fame."
