Just cut the frame of the motorcycle and use the engine cradle frame to have all of the mounts for the motor and weld the engine cradle to the nascart frame

Cut the bike frame up and use the motor mounts

Make sure you Take into account the heat of the engine

Hey man I guarantee that frame is mild steel, you do NOT WANT TO USE ALUMINUM. Get your self a 100 dollar harbor freight welder and use thick steel, i could just see an aluminum engine plate cracking with that cb 750 lol

Ok thanks for the information, appreciate it!

get in contact with gopowersports they will tell you all the kits and hardware you need to run that engine and axle together ..

I wouldn't use plate under engine it need as much air as it can get to cool beside make it hard to change oil. Just my 2 cents

Come on get him to 100k

I did something similar to this but I cut the engine cradle off of the bike (the frame part that goes around the engine), that way you have the mounts and you can see how it will fit and you can weld it to the Kart's frame and for sure it will be strong enough to hold the motor. It was so much more easier that way...

Big Chew you've got there! Space, front to rear, up and down and left to right are tight here and there; 1) go ahead and cut the diagonal bar across the back- a place for it will be apparent when the engine is in the hole, 2) Think the commenter who said go with steel is on the right track, because it looks easiest to take the frame piece that unbolts and recreate it from the other side of the 750 frame, then use weld steel to secure it at the necessary height, 3) sounds like you've found your left-right answer. The next fiddly bit will be getting the power from the engine to the axel. If you stay with steel for all your frame parts, all your connections can either be bolted or welded to the NASKART frame. If you're not having fun, you are doing it wrong!

Get some pillow blocks and run the rear axle under the frame so you will have room for the engine and any fab work that needs to be done.

Kiss this cart good bye, she's gonna twist like a pretzel, But good luck and good job, I wouldnt take advice from your buddy If hes suggests using aluminum dumb answer right off the hop.

Can't weld aluminum to you're steel frame so you should get steel plates and on top of that you don't have to get aluminum welding wire either

Soon you will see “the nascart does wheelies!”

Remember that u still have to be able to put the body on👍🏻👍🏻

I think you should mount the axle under the frame because it’s going to give you more room to work with.

IMPORTANT REMINDER : Some engines are designed to run rotated forward x degrees like this /, You may need to check with your engine or it WILL cause it to oil starve and seize. !!

Great video bro cant wait to see the nascar in action!!!!!

Last time I put a bike engine in a go kart , I cut the sub carriage from the motorcycle frame so I already had all my engine mounts.. pre-measured , I simply placed the carriage assembly in the location it needed to go and built gussets from the kart frame to the engine carriage ..once I liked the position I tacked it all in place ..now note that engine is about 68 horsepower and ,in the 60's the single overhead cam model was used to power a small Honda car called the Civic ..those engines were later used in dwarf car racing and the engine has a redline if 9.5 grand ..which is nearly double that of your grandpa's v8 ..the torque cure and power band ..on the 1/5th scale kart your playing with ,more closely resembles formula one ..and is ten times the power your kart has originally..I eventually cut down a rear end from a 76 chevette to place under the engine and transvert mounted the engine ..my little kart was reaching speeds of 125 mph .so be careful there kiddo ..that thing is a missile waiting to happen

Congratulations

You can get channel iron, or box tube with holes already in it for motor mounts. Better to make a mount via welding and then bolt it in for when you want to take the engine back out. The frame of the old bike would be perfect to make an engine mount for the cart and make some small mounts to bolt it to the frame of the nascart. Remember with an engine of this size air flow is important and you may have to add a fan with a fearing for fresh air once you put the body on the nascart. This engine will produce a lot of heat and it is designed to be in the wind on the bike.

You would save a lot fabrication time and keep it simple by cutting off and using the frame rails where the engine mounted in the motorcycle and using tubing to make standoffs from the motorcycle frame to the existing frame rail. No need for a jack shaft. Industrial sprockets are the same as 530 chain used on motorcycles and have an ID varying from 3/4" to 1 1/2 which should match the axle in the NasKart. Check out Big Nick the Great and the build he did with a motorcycle engine. He had some great ideas. Really enjoy watching this build. Looking forward to future videos. Also, please don't make the same mistake Vasily Custom Builds did and be sure to install an engine kill switch.

You should mount it in the front and get a couple 90 degree drive shaft gearboxes and mount that engine in the front and make it driveshaft to the rear then a sprocket to the axle

Use steel plate and box section to build your framework Migs. ( cut the bike frame for mounting points as they are bang on then weld/build your mounting frame off them ) That engine has lots of power and could possibly rip it’s mounts out using Ali. Also just a suggestion be add a bolt on bridge bar over the top so you can mount engine braces to the lump from the bar.

Good luck migs

Good to see you are using CAD (Cardboard Aided Design)

Hey migs i really love your videos im so inspierd by this mutch love from Finland (sorry for any typing mistakes)

Hello from australia .Good work i really enjoy your videos.i agree with other comments on not using aluminium i would be using mild steel it is alot easier to weld and cheaper than aluminium. Keep up the good work looking forward to the next video.

Most ppl have said the same thing, keep all steel, aluminium isn't strong enough. That and you can't weld alloy to steel. I suggest the motorcycle mounts etc it will save you a lot of issues and time, also put axle under that way the whole bay is clear to use, Will give you a slight light too.

Just weld the engine mount brackets,make them out of iron or steel and add some silent blocks to reduce vibrations, it's much easier to do than plate and you don't have to move anything

Good job tho your On the way to succeed👍

I love matching the nascar

Thats what your gonna do with that thing wtf!! Thats dope man!!

Can't wait to see how this goes! I hope you buy a good welder tho... I would suggest looking at the Vulcan mig Max 140. Harbor freight is a distributed for them

Might be easier stick the back axle underneath .👍

Get pillow blocks and put the axle under the frame rails

Stay away from aluminum, you have most everything you need, except the welder but you do not want to put that engine on a plate like a gocart engine , you need to hang it with the brackets off of the original frame, so cut up the frame and build on the cart frame using the tubes from the bike frame.

The naskart is gonna be nice

get the axel under it because a high mass being up is a big no no in taking turns, it will feel flimsy and easy to flip over

You better put a fan on top of the engine to keep it cool

God to ah mettal shop or weld shop. They might hawe what u need👍🏻

Make sure u leave enough room to move motor back and forth to be able to tighten chain

Your shed is getting small for all your projects.you need bigger garage my man👊💪👍

Use 2” square bars and use them as two rails to mouth the engine to

why don't you put the rear axle go under the frame because you said you wanted to lift it a bit and it would lower the engine

Personally I think steel square tubing would be the easiest and strongest for the mounts instead of sheet metal

PitBike Amigos agreed

This thing is going to pop wheelies

Great videos dude continue the awesome job.Just my opinion but I think you should reconsider the weight of the engine and the place it is going to be mounted on.placing the engine right above the axel is going to affect the driving causing understeer because of too much weight to the rear.I suggest trying to locate the engine as close to the seat as possible or worst case senario rewelding the axel ferther back although this would make fitting the current body impossible

Cut the axle hangers and weld them to the bottom for higher ride height

Put the back axle under the frame and make some adjustments to make it work

Dang! No mount today! No metal either. Good luck, but you should really use a steel plate instead of aluminium. That's a heavy engine with a lot of horses!

Awesome build man! Slightly bigger wheels will raise it?!?!

Bru that clutch is so nice tho

gotta start somewere

Wish my race car was this easy

I would put the axel on the bottum of the frame cause you will get both room for the engin and engin space

Put the back axle under the Cage to raise the back

Please get that thing geared right. Stock sprockets are 15 x3 the front sprocket is 15 tooth and the rear is 45 teeth. That’s common stock. Changing the rear sprocket your not goin to change much. The front one is where your acceleration and power is and speed. Go less teeth on the front is more power but you gotta change gears fast. It’s a formula to work out. Great build miggs. Keep goin.

If possible, cut and relocate the rear axle to underneath the frame. The motor will be lower, mounted on a flat surface.

Maybe you could use the removable frame from the bike? And did you get an aluminum welder?

I hope you know that the engine you're jusing is air-cooled. And if you put that plexi window in, it won't get enough air to cool itself

Like I've already seen in the continents you should definitely cut up the bikes frame and use all the motor mounts you can even use the fuel tank and everythingit would definitely be the strongest and easiest way to do it

Can’t wait to see I agree with him👇🏻steel steel are you gonna put Hoosier slicks on it?!?!?

you have a aircoold motor .so dont block the airflow wit a plate of allu or steel . you beter use steel tubing more airflow .beter use parts of the motorcycle frame to bild the motor in

You should put silk on it and for back put some block on the axle bolt

Don't mount the motor to a plate. Make triangulated mounts welded to the frame with rubber or polyurethane bushings. This will equal less weight, and less vibration. Also, you should relocate the axel under the frame. That will get you the 5 inches you'll need for the top of the engine. Finally, you cannot weld aluminum to steel. Use 120 wall 1 inch square tube to make the mounts. Otherwise, you're off to a great start, and I'm dying to see this thing rip through some gears.

Use the frame from the bike to mount the motor in the nascart to save time and money for something that already works.

When you say it was running I wouldn't say 20 or 30 seconds is enough run time to be fully happy. It wasn't tested underload through all gears, clutch or even ran in a bit before it goes into the cart.

Use the old engine mounts from bike, will make your life a little bit easier :)

Or you can put a Yerf Dog rear swing arm in with shocks for better suspension and ride.

It doesn't have to be steal you just cant weld aluminum to steal but you can bolt it on which is what you will want but make sure to put some nylon washer or something between the aluminum and steal frame so it doesn't get any funny metal reactions

This is gonna be a dragster kart i hope u strengthen the frame

Use steel dude but awesome video

I don't really feel like that motor will work in that go kart but then again I'm insane so you do you lol

Put the axel underneath the frame and just make some brackets for that it would probably fix all of ur problems

Aluminum on a steel frame?

How is the engine going to coll down behind ther! It needs a lost of air....

Mount everything with steel no aluminum steel is much stronger than aluminum thats a lot of power to mount to aluminum what state are you in

You need to make sure that the body will still fit

Put the axel under the frame

Try GPS they should have some mounts I'm sure not the size you need but buy two and slap them together

Why don’t you cut it at both sides on the top and cut the lower and extended it with tubing so the motor will definitely fit & your head will be cleared and the engine will be fine put lil fire wall then rig up the sprockets jackshaft then you’ll be good to good... @ 7:11 above what you pointing at if you extended that with tubing you’ll be straight
