What tools do you have at your disposal? A bike engine will require a bit of fab work and some new driveline parts.

i have plenty of tools and my friend has a welding machine a huge air compressor with a crap load of air tools

then a bike engine

but it will require a bit more work and is a little harder to mount as there is no adjustment

it will be difficult to get that kart to 55 with eather engine
