No.
 
The best use is showing big block owners the way around tight, twisty roads, and what 'ease of maintenance' REALLY means.  :evil:

But this is a good alternative.  :wink:

Very nice.  Just today I was thinking about the idea of putting a small block Guzzi engine in my 8' hydroplane, replacing the 18 hp Evinrude outboard that's currently powering it.  That could be a good use too.

You know, with 4 valve Lario heads you could draw the beer much quicker.

That's nice. Sometimes we really should slow down and see the sights.  :evil:

It looks like a grill/cooker with a very overpowered rotisserie.  You don't have to be careful to balance the meat on the skewer with that system.

Grill is powered by electric motor through a 90degree drive. Probably powered by the 12volt battery seen near the engine.
Engine is probably running free and only the engine electrical generating system is hooked up to charge the battery.

Betcha.  :popcorn:

I think you're on the right track, Penderic.  I had misinterpreted the motor with the right angle gear reducer as just a right angle gear reducer.  Maybe there's a big generator connected to the engine, which would explain the yellow power cord.  The big AC generator powers the grill motor, and supplies 120V power to the camp site.
