    You could use it like the Hippo boat from a thread a while back.

    Eldon Rasmussen had a cool go kart track in the Indy area back in the 70's and his karts used those engines. They were very fast!

    Those rotary engines sound quite cool. Finding some one to rebuild it will be tough. Start looking for apex seals now. Go to DIY Go-Karts and look for a guy Desertdueler. Might have to send him a pm. He’s the best at modifying and rebuilding them that I know of.
