Dave L:
I am planning to do a conversion later this year or early next year. My grandma is finishing her house and I'd like to get a kart there. But that means I need an engine too. So as a low buck alternative making a rep. mc10 would be a lot of fun. However I have a few questions.
1: Could I get away with just using one chainsaw to make the replica? I'd need newer parts so I'd like to keep it as low budget as possible.
2: Would it be possible to use something like a 1-71 and call it a replica stroker mc10? Can these blocks even be made into mc10's?
And last, 3: What parts do you suggest for reliability, but fun and cheap. Would it be a good investment to get things like a new crank or bearings, seals etc. or maybe a new flywheel and piston or even a rod?
Dave, I can't thank you enough in advance. I'm new to the karting world so I end up having a lot of questions.
Thanks!
