Thought id ask someone with a bit of experience with these things rather than throw away $300 just like that haha.

If not, how do you mount the engine on the side?

I think most 2 or 4 stroke engines will fit. I know a 2 stroke kit definitely will fit, but you'll need to buy or make an adaptor for the stretched out frame. Search "occ mount" or "occ adapter" and you should find it. I used one on a non-occ chopper build, and it fit like a glove.

Don't they come with the mounts already so I can bolt it to the frame?
 
The Chinese 48cc & 66cc 2-stroke kits do come with mounts. Unfortunately the mounts don't conform to a stretched frame bike like this one. Check out the picture I'm including (not mine) to see what I'm talking about.

One more thing I just noticed - it will be tricky to mount the rear sprocket to the 68 spoke wheels. The stock setup for a 2 stroke kit is designed for a 36 spoke wheel. I know that there used to be adapters made for these wheels, but I have no idea if anyone still sells them.image.jpg

Perhaps a new rear wheel will do the trick?
