Looking for a possible project, new to this, have engine!

My daughter has a Kazuma 90cc Mini-Falcon Deluxe http://www.eatv.us/MiniFalcon90Deluxe.htm that she's out-grown but it runs just fine and the motor is strong. I think they are Honda clones.
I think it'd be cool to put on a off-roadish go-kart frame or on a mini-bike. I'm sure a lot of parts could be used... anyone have any direction for me? Would this engine fit on either frame (rolling chassis go-kart or mini-bike)? Anywhere that has a good deal on a rolling chassis this may fit on?

Anyone done something like this?

Thanks for any help!

Anyone?

Any wrecked out buggy kart might fit this (given 110-150cc motor sizes) I'd check craigslist locally for someone disappointed in their engine failing. Most of the forum here deals with basic 4 stroke general purpose engines for example: Honda GX series motors.

We'd love to see your build and be more than happy to help you along the way.

Not trying to shoo you off, but have you tried more specific buggy oriented karting forums like http://buggynews.com//index.php for help?

Once you start on this puppy please throw pictures up, I'm sure there are several people who want to see this build done.

What are your fabrication skills like? You could design and build a sweet mini buggy with that motor, using most of the quad parts, and costing you very little.

Thanks for the info Blazkowiez.. I will check that forum out.
I was hoping this would go on a more standard(ish) kart frame as they are easier to find and much cheaper. I'd definitely want to do it for as little $ possible and use as much from the Kazuma as possible.
r chez, my fabrication skills are very limited. I can figure most anything out though and am pretty handy with tools and being inventive. I have 0 welding experience, but have a friend that does... but he doesn't have the fabrication skills to mock up a frame and all.
I'd like to find a chassis of some kind and use most of the 4-wheeler parts (wheels, tires, ignition, tank, etc.. )
