If you could find an engine/ transmission arangement from an older foreign car, i think that would be the way to go. You'd have to design motor/ transmission/ suspension parts and application ideas, Or use the 4 cylinder, standard transmission (In-line arrangement). It would take some thought! I'm not familiar with the machine you mentioned, but some trial and error will have to be done! Sounds like an interesting project--something i would have tackled 30 some years ago, but not now! Watch "Monster Garage" or the other shows like it--they do all kinds of things with machinery! You just need some imagination, a place to work, a pile of tools and materials, and lots of time! Of course, if you don't need a lot of power, a 12 h.p. engine, with a chain or belt drive to the tranny or rear drive with a clutch arrangement, would probably be easier to do. Try it--it might just work! Experiment with the thing--that's what most of us do in a case like yours! Rustyj
