Now come on guys..... if ANYBODY actually read anything other than the price on this ad you would all realize that there is no way this engine ever COULD or SHOULD be used or allowed in a midget.

Never Ever Ever Ever Ever Never...

Not in the last 75 years or in the next 75 years... It shouldn't be legal, shouldn't have a rule written to allow it to be legal, and if it is ever installed in any midget roller that car should no longer be called a midget... maybe call it a halfsprint or uprightdirtindyroadsterlookinspecmegamicroracer... .

Don't know what I mean??? Can't figure out why I am so ANTI OFFY-IN-HOUSER??? Read the ad fellas... the $1,000 pricetag doesn't include.......

A CARBURETOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carbs are for weedeaters, gokarts and streetstocks...just like nitro-nitrous belongs only in drag cars, turbos only belong on indy cars and diesel trucks, and EFI only belongs on formula 1 cars and isuzu troopers..

A REAL MIDGET uses FUEL INJECTION, REAL FUEL INJECTION with exactly 4 and only 4 velocity stacks, 4 pieces of brass tubing stuffed somewhere between the air filter and piston, approx 200 lineal feet of various size hoses, and 27 tiny brass or aluminum canisters full of springs, spacers, rubber gaskets and more pieces of brass with a little hole. And the only way a REAL MIDGET can get fuel to this marvel of modern engineering is with a REAL fuel pump... a pump that pumps more as it spins faster... a pump with little fanblades and gears in it that is directly linked to a rotating internal engine component.


Any racecar with this $1,000 engine, no matter what it LOOKS like to the fans, is not a midget and if anybody allows it to race as a midget it will cheapen the rich and storied history that is the last 15 years of midget racing and will only confuse the fans more than they already must be.

Carburetor!!! Sheesh.. whats wrong with people these days???
