Finally given the old full suspension Murray some love.

I like jankey stuff, but that's a little extreme for me.

Yeah myself I don’t mess with power tools, too expensive for me.
@Idkw much 👍 from the factory most corded tools outperform cordless because they don’t have to worry about such things as battery life. For converted tools I cannot say.

Why don’t you just lengthen the kart? It’s a lot easier to do!

I don't really have the skills and I don't want to risk messing it up. I've got too much time and money into it to have to scrap it because I tried to do something I couldn't

We could talk you through it quite easily! Especially since you know what a plug weld and a stitch weld are! Pretty hard to screw it up. You would really have to work at it.

I know the theory behind it and how to do it, I just don't have the confidence to stretch the frame. Maybe sometime in the future, but not now.

We always carried 12v cordless drills on the trails with us, before better options and inverters came on the scene ETA 2 wires and a couple clamps made them wired to battery

Got the engine mount mockup done. I need to botch the 1 inch square tube to set in the frame rails, but other than that I'm almost done. I am aware 1 inch is a little small for this size engine, but I will be bracing it with gussets and cross bars.

With that engine you should do well at Bonneville Salt Flats ...... jk ....... do you have already or going to install electric starter ?

It already has one, I just need a battery. Then I can hook up the harbor freight flood lights and possibly a light bar too.

Looks like it should only take 200 bucks to get the engine turning the axle and revamp the front suspension. The suspension revamp includes new shocks, and a rack and pinion steering. The rack and pinion steering is simply just because of how the max suspension droop will change and cause the original steering tie rods to bottom out before the droop

383.04 to be exact. I could probably have that saved in a month or two. That is if I choose to do full disc brakes
