    In today's video we take a Harbor Freight Predator 670cc V twin and fully build it for boost. We install performance 670 custom grind cam, billet rods, billet flywheel, billet .020 pistons, port and mill the head with copper o ring, alternator kit, roller rockers, steel pushrods, HD valve springs, billet valve cover, AMR300 supercharger, and S&S super b carb. This engine should push out around 70hp and 70ft-lbs. Stay tuned for a dyno of this engine and see it in action on our full independent suspension custom buggy!!!

    So just glancing at the parts list this engine is around 3k to 4k. If you want to go fast you have to pay. Very cool. I would still prefer this over a motorcycle engine to avoid shifting. I have a stock 650 Kawasaki atv engine that i'll use. It's only(lol) around 50hp and not nearly as cool but my frame is smaller and I didn't pay much for it. I just got done putting an old school Briggs 8hp flathead on a vintage McCulloch F1 race kart it's a real hoot.

      I was going to comment the same thing! Before all the craziness my ENTIRE 600cc sportbike (2004 Honda CBR600 F4i) was $2300 bucks. I actually got a mint 2005 CBR600RR for $2100 too. Something like 45 ft-lbs 90hp and includes an alternator, wiring, tach, ECU, clutch, transmission, radiator, fans, and a keyed ignition. Wrecked bikes that still run can still be had for even less I'm sure. Then sell off the extra motorcycle parts and you can end up with only $1500 or less in the powertrain. And you get more power and more reliability.
      M/C build has no supercharger whine, less low-end grunt, and not nearly as cool though.

      uestion:. Since even with properly gaped rings you get some blow by, has anyone ever experimented with putting two compression rings in each ring grove? I know the existing groves might not be wide enough to accommodate two rings each, but they could be widened. The possible advantage would have the two rings in each grove offset from each other thus minimizing blow by and increasing compression with the 4 compression rings on each piston. Just a thought.
