Well thats what I was going for, I have the original engine but it is in complete pieces so I can either try to find a manual to put it back together or put a whole new motor on it, this is the motor that I'm looking at, guy is selling it cheap, do you think it would fit? also here is my buggy, it's a 300cc Kinroad Runmaster. The link to the engine http://saturnsurplus.com/engine/engine.htm

interesting engine, but a 6hp flat four air cooled genny engine might be a bit lackluster performance-wise. if those were putting out 20hp or better it would be a no brainer if the price was right. otherwise, seems too large, heavy and potentially poses a lot of installation issues.

Oh ok, well I should be getting a 95 Polaris Magnum 425 for it instead, do you think that would work out?

sounds like a much better choice, from what i remember of those, that's a cvt style automatic setup. replacement parts are common, going to take quite a bit of fab work to get it installed, got some grinding n welding background?
