MEGA SCORE! Nice :thumbsup:

Nice!! The predator 212 should be fine

Oh come on, really?

IMO, anything small block would be a waste of time:
-13hp with a 40 series TC
-150cc gy6 or
-~125cc pitbike/ATV engine/trans

However, whatever you decide on, it must be low geared due to the large tyres &... well... I wouldn't want to be doing any more than about 20mph on it... it's begging for loads of low end torque

i agree, big engine, just for the size of the tires i'd want a lot of power, but i'd want it to go 35-40 mph to really have a good time, just my opinion, the torque converter would still give it plenty of low end power

Craigslist. Search for a scooter.

I think if it were me I would have to use the predator 420cc with electric start and a nice Torque converter setup for the best of low end and top end.

I'd go with a Lifan 125cc 4 speed...... Great bottom end, middle, and top end.... 40mph? Not a problem for the Lifan . You could pop wheelies too..... :thumbsup:
Post some more pics, especially the front suspension set up.

Nice, personally I'd go with the electric start predator just because its 420cc but its up to you! Nice chassis by the way, get an engine on it and it will he hellishly fun!
