When I was in high school I knew a couple of guys who were the sons of a man who owned a car crusher place. Sometimes they would pull the drive train out of a car that had been brought in and weld up some contraption that was drivable.
They would come up with some crude designs,.....just weld everything together with no suspension. They would play with it for a while,..then throw it in the scrapper and weld up another one.
One of my friends shoe horned a 900cc Kawasaki engine into an old yard kart. Fun. He still drags it out sometimes for the kiddies (teenagers) to play with. Full roll cage with harness and keepers so the arms don't get outside the cage. No helmet no ride.
I don't know man. Both the Olds powered buggy and the big block lawn mower put a big ass smile on my face. Sometimes its good to give up reason and common sense and just do something creative and stupid and fun. A high school buddy had a 1960s British land rover short WB jeep born with an anemic 4 banger. A small block 350 smartened it right up. Was hell on drive shafts though specially after he put the 38 mudders on it. I'd give both the guys here more points for creativity though..
Yamaha R1 engine on a cart,...serious death trap. The owner of the video doesn't want it attached so you'll have to see it at the link. He really starts getting on it after he passes that cop.

Almost lost it a few times and was blowing through stop signs.. Be careful of that pedal, that thing haul ass. Enjoyed it, Bristoe

I noticed from the video that he can't really use much of that R1 motor. It doesn't sound like he ever gets it into its power band.
Nothin wrong with a home made climbing deer stand.
I trusted the ones me and my bud welded more than the Warren/Sweat one I had. Which was probably made by some high as fugg, union, 3 toothed slug on a no-give-a-shît Friday afternoon.
