7AFE powered GO-KART!, What do you guys think? Options

[richee3]

As several of you know, I recently parted out an ST. Well, as it turns out, the 7AFE and it's automatic transmission are in incredibly low demand Who knew that when someone pulled the 7AFE out that they would want to put something more powerful back in??? So that leaves me with a 7AFE and trans sitting in my garage. I have an uncle who happens to be an excellent welder and has a LOT of scrap metal sitting around. So after reading some of the more recent threads on here, namely the one Exterior Styling where gokarter put a rubber lip in his front bumper. Everyone starting talking about how the lip matched his name. I started thinking... Celica, go-kart... Celica, go-cart... What if I bought a few supplies, and had my uncle build me a frame (with a kick-a** roll cage hahahaha) and mount that 7AFE on it? It would be heavy, yes, but it would be the most BA go-kart in Southern Illinois. 110 HP isn't very much in a Celica, but it'd be massive overkill on a one-off go-kart. So do you guys think I should do this? And if so, how would I do it? Keep in mind that I do still have the transmission, and I'm not sure whether I should use it or not. So... Tell me!

make an outline of what you want your cart to look like. make sure you have enough room for tranny, engine, suspension, etc. you have to be think hard here and measure a lot. my inlaws had theirs built in a week. but they've slacked on the suspension plus it was cold (october). my inlaws have their b16 in the rear. looks like of like a midengine gokart haha. plus i think they made it an automatic...dont remember. ill check up on things to let you know more info
