Everyone is really hung up on the total hp and the quality of his video. He wanted to build something different and share it with everyone. Looks like he accomplished both. I say GREAT job!!!
It doesn't matter if the choices made in this build were right or wrong... it's one hell of nice project. It's amazing to think of what is being done is garages all over the world by ordinary (yeah right) guys just like you. Keep it up, keep playing with your tools. I can't wait to see what you come up with next :)
piss on the haters. Thats quite a feat of engineering you've accomplishsd there specially to keep it looking so stock and all original controls working. Kudos man
Thanks! I converted the sleds original hood to be able to close it over the new engine. Yes "the haters" bothers me sometimes, I wonder if they would give the same comments standing "face to face", probably not.
omg, who ever was at the end spent more time looking at the ground than the sled. aaanyway. that sled is insane. mega props on fitting a v8 into that tight space. thats amazing. never been a fan of the vmax, but this looks sweet.
Thank You Sir! I could not have said it better myself. It tok me a lot of planing and hard work to be able get that engine running OK, and the sled aswell. The snowmobile looks different today(this was the very first testride). I did´nt have rich parents that could buy me stuff. I had to earn my own money and buy old rides and fix e´m up myself. This sled was published in Snowgoer, Canadas only national sled magazine in -06. Thanks Sven
In the middle of my first mod sled. So many things to work through and that is the best part. Like solving a puzzle but by building the pieces. Nice sled.
Wow that’s amazing nice looking sled and one of a kind. You do great work not many people would be able make something like that work. Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed it 👍🏻
Härligt bygge med gött ljud, jag blir förvånad över alla som tycker att den är skit och "kan en massa om hur det ska vara". Jag gillar den i allafall skarpt :)
Tack Alexander. Det är lätt att kritisera något som man inte förstår sig på. En person som inser hur mycket jobb det ligger bakom detta bygge, den kritiserar inte.De flesta missar poängen med bygget. Skotern ser helt annorlunda ut idag, bl.a. en längre och modernare boggi.
I think it's fantastic and something you should absolutely be very proud of! Beautiful sled and great job. Very few people could actually accomplish an idea like this so remember that when someone wants to speak negatively!
Nice build! Now days people seems to go extreme overkill and Ls-swap every thing and it's just ridiculous. This one looks good and actually seems to ride like any other snowmobile. Tummen upp!
This is very cool and very very clean looking looks like it came from factory like that I'm very impressed great job you should be very proud no matter what anyone says . I am amazed!!! Again great job
@chummer2007 Thank you. These engines came from the 500 interceptor model. I have had hundreds of Honda V4:s(buying and selling). From the early V45:s to the last of the V45:s(supermagna). I still have a few left, wich one is an -84 V65 magna(49state mod.) in factory new condition with most of the factory options. And yes, it was a lot of work! More than anyone can imagien.
Nice bit of work here....sorry you were beat up by some haters...this is something completely different that anyone in their right mind can appreciate!
Thanks Ron, when I made this video is was to document the first startup only. It was never ment for youtube. I didn´t know at the time we downloaded the video here how to edit (I still don´t, lol). I think the result is ok, considering almost zero budget. I´m not sure why some people always look for ways to insult someones work. But I think it´s probably because themselfes could never even come close to be able to do something like this.
It´s easy to insult people over the internet. I feel sad for them, they must live miserable lifes. Thank You for your support! I know the video needs editing though. Cheers Sven
@MrDieseltwitch Remember this is a video from the first startup several years ago, the sled looks different today. I´m planning to install a fuel injection system and modified cams. This would make this sled more powerful and reliable. I just finished a complete restoration of an -66 Shelby GT350 and I got several more muscle car projects waiting. This gives me very little time to work on this sled, wich was a fun build many years ago. Thanks for looking
powersled some people dont understand art. Also, some people are miserable, and want to bring others to their level. Those people don't generally understand the blood sweat and tears that go into building something new.
Hi, and thanks for not insulting my work as so many others have done. This is the first startup 10 years ago, the sled looks different today, and fuelinjection is installed.
Amazing work, love the way the exhaust sounds. I love the VMAX platform, I have a 92 VMAX 1200 motorcycle talk about fast, powerful. I am looking for another VMAX 1200 motorcycle. The plan is to transplant the 1200cc engine from the motorcycle into my 99 VMAX 500 sled, then paint the sled to match the motorcycle.
I was able to locate one of these so called haters, He was living in northern Canada. most pictures I found of him, he was sitting in old tractor with a lumberjack shirt and a baseball cap on his head. I could not find a single picture of him working on any project close to this. A matter of fact I didn´t see any project at all. I belive this summens up most critics or haters here.
Great idea, I would have went with skidoo body tho, just my opinion, I had a Yamaha like that, suspension wasn't the best,but love how you fit it in! Good job
Jeg takker for besøket. Det er litt av en jobb å få dette til å fungere !! :-) Bra jobbet ! Når det er skrevet, er dette bygget så bra at det trenger en mye bedre presentasjon enn amatørvideoen :-) Info om bygget osv.. Beste hilsen Svein
@moredistortion99 Like I´ve saying so many times before, this is the first testride. It looks a lot different today, and I can ride anywhere other sleds can, just a lot cooler.
Sweet...a couple of Honda VFOUR's. They were great motors in their day. Had a V65 magna and a V45 'ceptor. Great job, must have been alot of work to accomplish this.

awesome job on the sled build, have ya done anymore cool project likes this?
In the middle of my first mod sled. So many things to work through and that is the best part. Like solving a puzzle but by building the pieces. Nice sled.
Awesome that this looks like a normal sled aside from side pipes
Very well built in my opinion love the way the hood looks, hope to see more great builds like this
This is so cool on so many different levels! full respect to you and your engineering abilities. Cheers

Very, very nice! It takes tremendous perseverance and skill to see a project like this through. Thanks for building it, it's fantastic seeing it run!!
DEFFINITLY will hear this one coming even over the freeway noise.
Ignore the Haters bro keep up the good work
+Ethan Weston Thank You Ethan, I needed that.
I can’t help myself. That is super clever. Well done!
That's an awesome bit of fabrication! Nice job!
Nice looks factory good job! 👍
Thanks for seeing the sled, and not the bad unedited videotape
Awesome sled! You did an excellent job on the design and fabrication!
Forget the haters , keep up the good work . The engineering is fantastic ! You got skills dude lol
This is a really cool build man! I really like it and i can't imagine the time put into it! Ignore all the bad comments, this is really awesome! :)
Nice build! Now days people seems to go extreme overkill and Ls-swap every thing and it's just ridiculous. This one looks good and actually seems to ride like any other snowmobile.
Tummen upp!
hahaaha thats awesome
runs and looks fantastic never saw a V8 in a sled b4!!!! now thats skill that most of us dont have. awesome job man!!!!!
This is very cool and very very clean looking looks like it came from factory like that I'm very impressed great job you should be very proud no matter what anyone says . I am amazed!!! Again great job
Thanks Randy

Nice!
Way to think outside of the box!!
I bet that sled will fly...
Damn buddy your a mechanical maniac!! Great job👍👍 amazing.
wow. incredible workmanship. Kudos!
This was the first testride, would you use full trottle?? That would have been pretty stupid, dont you think?
AMAZING! Well done! If you can build that you can build anything! Props!
as a mechanic that is a work of art.. Nice job like to see it in action
Sick sled! Impressive work.
Can someone explain to me why i see only 4 cylinders as a v4? Ik its a dumb question but still
Heavy looking sled
Nice and clean install.Good job !
Nice bit of work here....sorry you were beat up by some haters...this is something completely different that anyone in their right mind can appreciate!

very nice!! i bet that things an awsome cruiser!! good job!
Very cool. Great engineering bro.
Thanks, unedited video!
Sounds so unique and soothing
snuygg och låter mysigt! grejt!
Thank You for the kind words. I understand you know how much work could be involved in a project like this. Thank You.
man the sled looks sick
That thing's got a heck of a soundtrack to it.
nice 30 something year old machine,your workmanship is very good.
Very nice,good job
thats awesome ...thumbs up !!
Thanks, and thanks for not complaning about the unedited video, like many others have done. The sled is more refined today.
i was gonna say that looks like the motor in my vf500c but it looks like that was taken care of below. nice creation
Are those the 1983 Honda 750cc Magna/Sabre or 1000cc Honda Sabre engines?
Cool hotrod! Good job on the build. Looks sweet
Thanks Kyle, and thanks for not being one of those insulting "haters".
powersled some people dont understand art. Also, some people are miserable, and want to bring others to their level. Those people don't generally understand the blood sweat and tears that go into building something new.
nice sled man what ignition did you use on it to get the timing right?
how did u make it fit and work
Jesus. How long did it take to figure out the clutching on that?

Way to go my friend , !
Crazy a V8 sled!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
3:01 Running. 4:04 Riding.
A well done job. That would get Me back into snowmobiling
Thank´s Ronald.
ViceGrip Garage -Ford V8 Powered Dual Track Drag Racing Snowmobile - Will It Run after 20+ Years?
Nice clean build
Is it pull start?
how fast does it go ?
Great idea, I would have went with skidoo body tho, just my opinion, I had a Yamaha like that, suspension wasn't the best,but love how you fit it in! Good job
That is badass great job looks like V max engines
Based on Honda VF500 Interceptor engines
Wow ! nice job !!!!amazing!!!!!!
Incredible build.
Thank You, a long time ago now.
Nice build.
8 carbs?!? How long did it take you to synch that beast?
thats some engineering you did building in your garage ...its cool and sounds great
Jeg takker for besøket. Det er litt av en jobb å få dette til å fungere !! :-) Bra jobbet !
Når det er skrevet, er dette bygget så bra at det trenger en mye bedre presentasjon enn amatørvideoen :-) Info om bygget osv.. Beste hilsen Svein
Hur går den efter led?
My left ear was like that :D but really its so cool!
How much does it weigh?
HONDA MAGNA!! Id recognize those valve covers anywhere.
Also the interceptor.
@samcat509 Did you build the engine yourself? By the way, this clip is from 2003.
Are they just 2 v twins?
How much hp she put out?
where can i get one
Häftigt bygge måste jag medge, hur mycket soppa drar den?
@powersled yeah, i understand. Hows the milage in it?
Nice work and really nice sled
hey are thows v65 motors or v45 motors.. like the ones that came off the 80s honda sabres, magnas, and interceptors
@moredistortion99 Like I´ve saying so many times before, this is the first testride. It looks a lot different today, and I can ride anywhere other sleds can, just a lot cooler.
Dude I need more of this sled!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Sweet...a couple of Honda VFOUR's. They were great motors in their day. Had a V65 magna and a V45 'ceptor. Great job, must have been alot of work to accomplish this.
Very nice! Looks oem. Sounds incredible. I would guess it makes power from around 3k to 7k rpm?
looks like a 4 cyl.?? i see 8 plug wires tho?? im confused
Wow that’s a sweet sled
nice build!
No pull start?
This is way cool. Great job! It looks like it came off the production line like that. What's the next project?
is it fast
isn't it quite hard tuning 8 carbs?
