Judging by the size of that frame tubing, it looks pretty heavy and a 175 will be somewhat underpowered :ermm:

put a 800cc snomobile motor in there. They push 150hp fairly stock. Just remember to use ski-doo.

A snomobile does over 100 easy. A snomobile looses 2/3 of its power in its drive train, that is horible. Thats with titanium jackshafts, clutch work, light weight track, all the bells and wistles.

Put that same motor on a drive train desing that looses much less % of power, ex tires instead of track. I bet a guy could push 180mph if he felt the need.

If you want an OEM big bore 2stroke the CR500 and KX500 are stump pulling bulldozers when it comes to power. An FL400 pilot setup would be even better since it is already setup for a buggy.

Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Suzuki all make 250cc~400cc 2 stroke 2cylinder motors for street bike motors that are capable of producing 120hp+ with relative ease.

If your frame is already setup for a 4 stroke street bike motor you will probably be better off using the same type of motor.
