Racing Lawnmower Scene...(need some opinions on a project)

[Titanium]

Ok So tonight i have started a new racing lawnmower project. i have pulled the 12 horse briggs and straton motor out and im goin to replace it with a dirtbike/quad motor in it of some sort. Have any of you guys done this before if so post pics. also my question is what sort of motor should i use? I was thinking a air cooled motor like a 400ex or a blaster engine. Also im pretty familiar with the racing lawnmower scene i've built one of my own in the past and helped build quite a few other ones. i'll post pics soon of the project.

have u ever thought about like a 125 dirtbike motor? ive never done something like this before but it seems like the 125 wold make for a good engine to use.

I would maybe go with something like a 250F? Smaller I belive you can get them in electric start. Good power. Lots of tourque. Why not just put a hybusa in it:p

I was thinking of a 250f motor too. but i was wonderin where i could get a motor around here. or are there any good websites to buy from other than eBay.
