Has anyone ran these on their buggy? My dad has two that have set on his shop floor for a couple of years that I can get that come with the adaptor plate,header, and carb. He was going to put one on his rail but has not got around to it and told me I could buy them and use one on my new rail. Any input would be great. I would have around $900 in this set up.



Thanks
Rick

you just use a diffrent bell housing and the rabbit engine bolts up to it.ive seen the 1.8 and the 2.0 in actoin and they ran pretty good in my opinion.i didnt know all you had to do was change bell housings thats cool.chad :mrgreen:
