Wheel Horse 857 Rat Rod

Found on local FB Marketplace.  And of course, not running, no surprise there.  Small block Chevy engine, exhaust in the face, what more can you want?

  What a mess…almost looks like the engine was just plopped on the frame for the pictures. 
  I doubt any of the engineering or fabrication needed to make it work has been attempted.

That appears to be a lightweight plastic mock-up facsimilie "engine" that chassis fabricators use during their builds.

But.... @Pullstart could make something out of it!

Leave that plastic engine there. Find one of those old battery powered VROOM motors we got for our bikes in the 60''s and hide that underneath. Rig up a small electric motor to drive the trans. Drive it thru the Parade at the Big Show and tell Wild Bill you mow lawns with it! :lol:

Worth looking into, the block is probably worth the price of admission.
