Would a Predator 8hp (301cc) fit on a Baja heat ?

[hserro1221]

I converted a Baja heat into a 3 wheeler and i saw there having a sale on the predator 8hp at harbor and freight. My main question is do you think that engine would fit in the frame of that bike?

This you'd have to drill new holes. Think that uses the big block bolt pattern. Probably have enough room.

ive got a 8hp Honda motor setup in mine.
you will need to put the motor as Far forwards as possible,
and honestly this would be a great time to weld on a new motor plate instead of the tin plate/factory.
go All the way to Past the original front of motor plate,so you will have your 2 front motor holes available.
other things,pegs,start looking for longer pegs or mount them diff location.
hope you have either a tav setup,or a diff jackshaft than factory,because the motors are wider and the chain will Not align..
