Default What to do with this engine?

I picked up a 23cc Alcohol engine today.

ADA racing 17:1 alcohol four bolt head/crank kit.
MSD Kicker ignition, aluminum flywheel, and pull-start adapter

I'm thinking about looking for a deal on a 5b and putting this thing in it.

Also thinking about selling it for profit.

Ideas

I thought about the sand rail, also thought about a 1/4 scale drag car using go-kart slicks for rears.

I've got a feelin' this damn engine is gonna cost me money before it's over with.

I love my 5b. I bet that engine would eat up the drive line though.

I would love to have that for my Viza Venom

I would build a pre runner truck or a trophy truck. A nice 4 wheel drive, indy front solid rear with a 2 speed tranny. Make a fiberglass body use modified Kong tires or somthing simular. If you did sell it what would you want for it?

Yup.

Goat, Mechanicalbob...get this.

A couple of months ago a buddy of mine said that HPI should've built a 1/5 trophy truck.

That'd be fun, but I don't need another long-term project.

solid axle, indy front, 2wd prerunner would be sweet. maybe some sweet tubework, and maxx or 40's tires would be about scale.

Take it off some sweet jumps.
