Default Roketa Geo conversion

Ok this is what I started with, and I am still not quite done but figured I would post up what I have so far. I will be taking it apart this winter and redoing the cage for something a little safer and adding some tree/nerf bars.


Pulled the engine and FNR box and set the Geo engine and trans in to size it up and to check the axles. Wasn't going to fit without some modifications!
The axles are stock to the 92 Geo Metro and fit the buggy hubs perfectly.


I cut off the back tubes and built new ones. The motor mounts are Ford F150 trans mounts (Good eye West Coast)



Motor mounts are 1/4" plate and 1"x2" tube bolted to Ford transmission mounts (I work in a transmission shop)






Engine and trans mounted up. I cut the top tubes off behind the seat leaving 3" I cut the back vertical bars flush with the horizontal tube then shortned them later, and added tubes with flanges so I can remove the fuel tank and frame work in one shot to work on the engine. I made my own intake and used 34mm Mikuni carbs, the ignition is a Ford Duraspark box hooked to the Geo distributor.
