I'm in the process of building a sand/dirt buggy and I might be using a Honda Goldiwing motor. Which could be a 4 or a 6 cyl. motor depending on which one I use. But I bet they are more common in rock crawling buggys.

Did you get the buggy pre-built needing a motor or are you building from scratch? I've got an inline 4 sitting here that I would really like to put to use.

Building from scratch. Even having my dad who is an engineer to help me design but i have found an twin snowmobile engine that produces a lot more power than the four strokes. And all I work on is two strokes, so I know a lot about them.

That was actually my first choice on a frankenbuggy engine. A guy around here actually had a 440 snowmobile engine but he didn't have any of the electronics for it so I passed on the deal but man that would have been awesome. Definately an excellent candidate though.

Yea dude I can't wait to start building. I already have the plans drawn up just need the money. But yea I have two this guy has a 440 and a Indy 500 so I will probably do the 500. I'm also planing on filming the whole build.
