Welcome. With that size engine I would image you would want a slightly larger buggy.
Maybe something like this http://www.monstermarketplace.com/go...0cc-dune-buggy
I have seen these used for 1000-2000$

What is the engine out of? A lot of older 1100 engines aren't as powerful as they sound, especially since the newer 1000cc push close to 200hp. Still a decent powerplant to start with.

With something that size, like nick stated, a larger sized frame would be needed. Also think of safety while you brainstorm ideas, you want to live long enough to enjoy your new toy, lol.

MMmm. That might be an issue. The magnas were shaft drive, which will complicate your buggy build. I do like the idea of using a V4 engine, they sound very unique.

BTW, the power of that engine is around 115hp, which would be very nice for a mid sized buggy.

Look for a Joyner 250 or 650 buggy. They are built to take that kind of HP. The only problem you will have is no reverse. You should try for something with reverse. You need it in these buggies.
