>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."
