The Baby 7 on the Track

And a rip-roarin' engine note, to boot!

What I'd really like is a small four cylinder motorcycle engine back there to get the sound right but there just isn't enough room. I may have to cut a hole in the rear body panel for this larger Predator engine to clear the valve cover.

How about one of the smaller (500cc) Japanese twin cylinder MC engines? Set it in one gear (to optimize the rev/torque range) and use a centrifugal clutch. Or get real adventurous and figure out a shifter system....and raise the roll bar height!

You could link a bunch of small model car engines together. They are able to eek out about 10hp/ci! Put a chain of these together and you could have a 10ci engine making 100hp.

If you put enough of them together . . . . . . .

Can you imagine having to start all those engines before you can ride? There is a video out there showing them starting that motorcycle or one very similar.

 

The new Predator engine arrived this AM. It will be awhile before I can start on the conversion but I'm looking forward to more HP.

Skip - is Tom going to help you with the conversion?

I am planning on doing it myself. What could possibly go wrong? :devil:

I'm sure you will do an outstanding job with the swap.
