This past season I added a home made longer shoot and Ariens drift cutters. I also installed the rubber impeller kit. I was able to keep up with my neighbors newer 824. The head light is powered from the engine alt and I have it switched to the original on/off key switch. All controls for the engine are contained on the engine so my biggest control mod was relocating the shoot swivel with u-joints.

I used the one Ariens U-Joint for 3/8" shaft to make the turn in the shoot crank rod.

looks neat, ill have to take a pic of my neighbors 6hp craftsman snowblower next to my simplicity 32" lol, it looks like it would eat it and not know it lol

The Intek Snow engine is a nice engine, i dont have much experience with snowblowers but it seems to have tons of torque in heavy snow and wont stop, ive moved some big piles of snow with mine packed hard from the street plows

You have to log in to view the pictures at that site. But there are many pictures of the V8 snowblowers around. Chrysler had a competition for Hemi-powered equipment. It was won by a giant tricycle.
