So this is a 1000cc replacing a 660cc engine? Will you have to cut into the tray and have the top of the engine exposed? I have seen a few Japanese drift car builds where they have put motor cycle engines in. They go through a lot of tweaking to get things balanced. This is a channel showing steps they have taken (unfortunately in Japanese but subtitles are there) www.youtube.com/@43ch/videos
Hi Pal, yeah that’s right although it’ll be a lot more bhp compared to the stands 35! We aren’t sure if we will have to have the engine sticking through the top of the bed until we start to frame everything up. Thank you for the link to that video, we will take a look over and hopefully it will be of great help!
@@brunobrauer6301 hi Bruno, not many people know that the standard engine in a kei truck is basically a bike engine. But we are putting in a Honda fireblade engine which is a lot more power. So it just made most sense to title this the way we have as it is the start of the journey of the engine swap
i did it with a honda V45 shaft drive. its fun for sure.

I don't understand the title, they already have ALL a bike engine from the get-go.
