Manco 335 Go-Kart whats the biggest engine that fits?

[Manco335]

I have a manco 335 go kart frame with a 3.5 b/s and was thinking this wont be big enough what can i bolt in place of the 3.5 in terms of size?

Im not opposed to redrilling or modding the engine plate but wanted a direct bolt in if all possible.

Really need pictures to see how much space there actually is around the engine.

They were made to put both a 3.5 or a 5 h.p. either one in them. probably any thing bigger with the same bolt pattern and frame clearance would work,It all depends on how much you want to customize.

Biggest bolt up would be a 5hp briggs, maybe a 8 if you got a new clutch for the bigger shaft.

i have a 8hp briggs and the bolt pattern is the same, taller and alot more grunt.

dude im not a genius when it comes to this stuff but really, just measure how much room you have to mount on the back of your cart, and then just look up engine dimensions.
