That sidewinder at 80mph would be amazing! I don't know if I could afford it though.
I know nothing about this stuff, but I need a metal shop project.

Sorry guys, especially r97, I should've doublechecked before posting. Gimme a break, it's early. Most Australian sites are listed as *****.com.au. I stupidly assumed but, this is one of the few exceptions.
At least I got the gallery right

LOL, no worries D), but I'm still not going to buy any real estate... Now back to what were supposed to be talking about.

Is this engine good condition or are there parts missing? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=380431067533&index=9&nav=SEARCH&nid=86348452129

I would say that way more than half of the engine is missing. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you couldn't tell that from looking at it you might want to stick with an industrial engine. I'm glad that our little bit of off-topic there was not bothersome.

Haha it did look like the side was missing it I thought the holo hole on top was weird too, but I was not sure.

Yeah I think a sidewinder will be atleast 4,000 dollars, I don't have that kind of bank.
It seems as if all of these engines I will also be paying for just the name of them.

Ok, well I won't be able to afford it anyway but it is nice to find out the total cost to act like you can afford it.
I will see what thrusday brings me, I will post some pics of it thrusday night.

Ok, well my dad picked it up, he said it is a big one and has a roll cage and stuff, so that is cool, I have not seen it yet but he is dropping it off tomorrow at my school while I am in metal shop.

Well I have no pics because I did not have my phone with me today, but it is a one seater manco with no suspension. The engine setup is a belt went from the motor to like a seperate axel, on the other end was a sprocket and then that connected to the sprocket that is one the main axel, so I am thinking I want to get rid of that and just have a chain going from the motor shaft to the axel.
Then take the brakes off and put on disc brakes, is small disc brakes what people usally use, if not what do most people use as brakes? I guessing two back brakes is common also? I am then thinking of taking off the roll cage on it now and make my own sprint car type looking roll cage.
Hopefully I can get some pics on here monday night.

What you are describing is called a "jackshaft". Key question here- does the belt ride on "normal" pulleys? You may actually have a CVT. Post pics when able.

Here this is what it looks like, http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&h...w=190&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0,i:88 but there is no motor, but the belt and that circle thing with a small sprocket on the other end is basically what's on mine.
Does this answer your key question?
Here same thing here, mine has no motor but that "jackshaft" is there. This one is like the same exact thing except the middle part of the jack shaft on mine is covered up but that is the only difference.

So is it a normal pully? I don't know what an ab normal pully looks like. Is this a good setup I would imagine it's not because now there is two things to mess with, I was thinking I should just go with chain drive, or is there a problem with just chain driven?

Then you have a CVT. Brilliant! A CVT is a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka Torque Converter.
