New to Vintage Karting - Tom Brabant - 04-12-2018

I'm A new guy to vintage karting. I'm in the process of restoring a Date A-Bone. That in itself has been a project but my question about motors. I was planning on putting a Mac 49 on it, thought that would be a good class to start out with but every deal I've tried to make has fallen through. Yesterday I got a West Bend 820 for peanuts but I know nothing about West Bends. If I put it on the A-Bone what class do I run in now. This motor came with pretty much everything ready to run plus it has a pipe. Any help!:  Tom Brabant

SPORTSMAN REAR OR SINGLE REAR 8.2,  would work
Also if you dont use that motor i might be interested in it
