You would think so but maybe not. Why do you ask?

I know they made a open cage style and then full cage style later on. Not sure on the specs though.
Some have round axles while some have octogon axles. I have had both types and do not remember one being bigger or smaller that the other.

Sorry, I didn't catch that 
Can you try again?
Can you try again?Sorry, I was trying to make a long story short. Let me try again.
At one point I was interested in an 8 hp Manco Dingo Go Kart. I went to go check it out, test drove it, etc. I found out that I fit fine in the 8hp Manco Dingo. I did think it was overpriced, so I didn't buy it. Now, a few weeks later, I've come across a fairly priced 5 hp Manco Dingo. Since it is an hour and a half away, the owner doesn't want to drive all the way up to my house unless I can nearly assure him that I am going to buy it.
So, I am asking if all Dingo's are the same size, because if they are, that would mean I would be just as comfortable in the 5 hp one as I would in the 8 hp one.

Now I do, thanks for clearing that up.
You would assume they would be the same in that respect. Probably the easiest way to find out is google them (for specs) & compare the difference.
In saying that, do you know if the 8hp was stock? Someone may have put an 8hp engine in a 5hp kart... it happens.

I just watched a few vids on youtube &, from what I can see, the 5hp & 8hp look to use the same frame (or very similar)
I would have to agree with Fabroman here. I think it is just another engine that has been put in the same frame. I would not equate engine size to frame size.
