tranny is in, engine is in mounting location. Yes ik, it's dangerous looking to have that large thing between your legs near sensitive areas but it's the only way it fits. Mabye a protective plate will be added between the seat and engine. Pulley ratio is going to be a 6.5" to a 5.75" or something similar. So should get speeds of around 26 mph as it is ungoverned. Plans are to get it finished and call it complete and post a video of it to end it's build off career then sell it with turf tires instead of the atv tires.

Ok, got a lot done . Engine is mounted, tranny is fully bolted in with some strong mounts, got some 15 inch rear tires on it, made a throttle, put the gas tank on, remade the clutch, put on the pulleys and belt keepers, made a shifter, welded on the seat console thingy, bolted on the seat, made a new exhuast that sounds great and looks cool and keeps the pipe away from the Oster beds.... hehe . Still needs some flywheel guards for added safety tho,. All it lacks to drive is some brakes(optional) and a proper belt. Will post pics tomorrow

We'll it is a blast to drive!! Drifts insanely and the weight placement gives great stability even when sliding sideways. Had a good 7 minutes of driving up and down the road drifting crazy then the brand spanking new belt blew up. Pulleys are all aligned and no pulley issues, sor I figure it is because of the belt not being a rubber belt and it got too hot and streched too much then just gave up. So now I am going to try to make a type B belt work on it and then once I get it fully drivable again on will caLloyd it complete and post a walk around and driving video of it then move on to the other projects. Definitely needs a locked tranny for even better sliding but it's is still very fun and I am pretty pleased with it.

Yeah it's defiantly very easy to work on with such an open design and frame space.
Okay, so now after blowing up 3 belts, swapping around 6 different pulleys, remade aligning all the pulleys, more clutch Springs, wiring up a kill switch, it is finally in a state that I am calling finished! It did get slowed down to make a belt I had fit bit it does run and will get sped back up when I can afford a high quality belt and new pulley for the front. Here is the video to prove it does run and drive. Hope it shows enough info to finalize this build. @MightyRaze just so ya see it sometime.
