             Here is a shot of the tank brace I fabricated and
            welded in place. Other modifications to the engine included milling
            the head and block for more compression and porting the intake
            runner.

             I finally got a belt for the torque converter. The
            converter really woke the kart up on the bottom end and made it so
            much more fun to drive. It will now spin the live axle in the gravel
            and dirt.  |
