im just looking for an affordable and reliable motor. And since its gonna be going on a heavier kart im also thinking about a torque converter
thnx

You should get the harbor freight engine i have one and its super reliable.

If you get one of the first two, you will have a lot of upgrade and modification potential, but you won't be able to use that directly out of the box. If you get the Harbor Freight, you can take it out of the box, add oil and gas, and you are ready. It boils down to what you are looking to do with the engine. Ie: upgrade, or just use stock.

The clones are good. What are you using it for? Some of the extras included in the second one may not be needed.

If you're not racing it, which I don't think you are, the HF engine is perfect. With a torque converter, even better. Those engines go on sale frequently for $99.

I will suggest HF engine. They can always be upgraded later if you need to or want to. Check out NR Racing they have different packages with the HF engine plus if you already have the engine you can buy the parts to upgrade. Gd luck

NOTE: Coupon can be printed to get the engine for about $99 at HF.

ill probably just go with the harbor freight and torque converter since it is the cheapest and im not planning or doing any racing , and later on ill just modify it

thanks

Bear in mind the predator mods are more money. Take this into account if you are serious about modding later. On the plus side, you have 15 more cc to play with
