What Engine?!

Vehicle in question:

AND GO!

LS1 duh!

Whatever the cheapest air-cooled inline motorcycle engine you can find is.

I had a 750 sitting in the driveway for some time. Still have the car rail...

H-D V-twin? If you are going to be obnoxious.. might as well go all the way

Widen it then insert F2T.

The Katech designed V4 LS1 for that one motorcycle company I am forgetting....

Pretty.

Hmmmm, I happen to have a spare S&S.....................

Yamaha 1300 from the GSX1300R or Hayabusa...?

That would be a cool 170+ HP in stock form. That kart weighs what? 150lbs?

Oh. Note the extreme angle on the front wheels. I designed that for snow, not speed. Snow drift cart.

Looks like a perfect candidate for a Cummins 6BT

Won't take much for that thing to go fast...I'd just be trolling Craigslist for a busted lawn tractor or dirt bike. If you need more oomph, just put 2 on there!

Here, Curtis. It was your idea. You test drive it.

Come get this mostly complete K8 out of my garage. It'll cost you a 6 pack of beer and a 4 hour trip.

Argh, where were you when I was thinking piston engine for the RX-7?

I love the sound of K8s.

the katech 2.4l v4 350 plus hp 360 tq 162lbs

You need a sled motor for that. Old air cooled singles are cheap.

I desperately want that katech v4 for my MG.

Good call. Its got a sled clutch.

You're down in the weight range where engine weight matters a LOT.

VM 125 CZK is right around 50 lbs for 35 horsepower. That's all-inclusive, everything but the gas tank and pump.

The less the engine weighs, the lower your CG will be, the less weight transfer you'll get, and the faster you'll corner.
