'27 Ford Go-Kart build

[Matsuri]

I picked up a beaten and battered roadster body, it took a while but I finally figured out what I'll be doing with it. I went and ordered a 44" wide go-kart axle and am looking at different engines.

I just think using a 212cc "predator" is kinda boring, I want something fun. I'll either buy a modern diesel single banger or find a vintage gasoline flat head single banger.

1"x2" box tubing seems to be heavy duty enough, so I'm gonna pick that up this weekend.

Projects evolve and change, who knows how this will be when done, but this baby is gonna be a fun project for sure.

Some sort of Twin cylinder and side pipe exhaust would be slick as a T-bucket build.

Like a 4 stroke twin from a motorcycle or something wild like a 2 stroke, 2 banger, from a snow mobile?

Like a 670 Predator would be better.

I was definitely thinking 4t, something along the lines of a Flathead twin just to stick to the antique iron theme lol, but doing it from a Predator 670 would be cool.

A motorcycle engine backed by a 4 or 5 speed full manual routed through a FnR box would be pretty wicked too

I prefer 670 Predator

I was just thinking a 670 with some zoomies would be sick.

Or buy 4 670's, link the crankshafts together and you have a 2.7L V-8. Winning.
