[Silly Little Cars] Truckster Re-Power

[Keith Charsha via Silly_little_cars]

If you go with a GO-4 motor and tranny you lose all your bed space not 
to mention they are hard to come by and will cost you just as much as a 
running GO-4.  My swap idea is a VW bug motor.  I'm pretty sure that 
with a dog house cooler on it it would still fit under the seat and you 
could adapt a shaft to fit the cushman tranny although you may have to 
have it geared higher for more speed.  As far as adding 700 to 900 
pounds, not sure anything is going to handle that very well.
