Or... buy this: http://tulsa.craigslist.org/car/762690236.html

And sell the frame engine-less

IDK this one may suit a go kart a bit better

Haha AC even works LOL! Direct that AC back to the intake

A v8 cart would be way to much.

 

[crazycart]

Ya think? Take a joke dude LOL i think a v8 cart would be sweet...i almost picked up a caddy v8 for my golfcart..

 

[sayre315]

If you have ever been in a sandrail, the little 4 banger 1800cc VW aircooled is plenty back heavy and powerful enough.

But you just cant beat that v8 sound..

Exactly. Gotta love the sound of a BBC first thing in the morning. At the race track thats the sound I get up to. But as far as the VHT track spray and methanol fumes that's something a video cant describe.

I love the smell of methanol in the morning.

EXACTLY! There's nothing like being there and feeling an 900hp bbc in your chest and then watch it take off like a raped ape down the quarter mile...

Back to the original poster: I have a friend that it trying to screw together a kart with a '69 chevy camaro straight 6 and a 3 speed manual tranny. Now the motor and tranny are for sale, he finally realized that he can't do it. Poor kid, he wasted a lot of money on that project. I tried to tell him it was a bad idea...

 

[sayre315]

why would you waste a 69 camaro engine on a go kart?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Its the stock straight 6, real camaros have at least a well built 327 and a race built powerglide.

yeah a straight 6 is not HP, its torque.
