Don't you already have a v8 go-cart project?

Sweet!

Well... yeah... but this one looks even more fun.

Pics!

Actually, there's not much to show yet. Here is the new Ford 8.8 rear diff mostly installed:

The rear end was mostly a bolt-together affair. Mounting the engine will require skilled welding... which is why (a) it hasn't been installed yet and (b) the entire project has ground to a complete halt.

How I hope for the engine bay to look... someday:

I think you and stratton need to get together to make a v8 drift trike.

I'm happy to weld anything you need, as I'm sure many others are here. If it's just motor mounts, that shouldn't take too long. I'm sure Mitch at Ufab would do a great job.

A neighbor down the street put a snowmobile engine in his golf-cart with the same results "mega-burnouts" .Out of all the thigs ya can put a V-8 into a golf-cart seems kinda s**pid . If ya go that route make it safe, cage it .

Has anyone successfully registered a golf cart for street use? I looked into it a little, and it seems like they are purposefully excluding them for some reason.
