hmmmm, I wonder if there is a market for that. ecopo linked to a fwd trans set in the rear of a one off quasi scooter, driver hunkered down between a set of goodyears, like an old dragster.......
Depends on the power needed, I looked into it back a few years ago and there were quite a few on the used market with refurbished battering being around $1200. Give LKQ a car (the WALMART of wrecking yards) 916-403-6022 This is a Sacramento California number but they have sources and locations all over the country.
