Hi Jarad,
Various size engines can be used for the Kart plans. The engines for each
of the 3 sets of kart plans are as follows:
1. Off-Road Kart Plans
http://www.kartbuilding.net/Freeplans/plans.htm
This Kart supports the widest range of engine choices. Engines
from 75cc and upwards to approximately 350 or 450cc will work without
little modifications. Larger engines may need more support. Smaller
engines (50cc) will require a lighter and more compact chassis to keep the
weight down.
2. Racing Kart Plans
http://www.kartbuilding.net/racingkart/index.html
This Kart can support a good range of engines, however
modifications will have to be made to the engine cradle in order to
accomodate the engine. See:
http://www.kartbuilding.net/racingkart/Free_Racing_Kart_Plans_PDF/Main_Kart_Complete_16_Engine_Cradle_Support.pdf
The overall width of the engine needs to be measured carefully as space is
tight on this chassis.
3. Wooden Kart Plans

This kart uses a lawnmower engine of any size with a vertical
drive shaft.
Best of Luck,
