Holdenman's 1974 Volvo 2stroke into a Honda Farm bike

My wish list project: I have dusted it and looking at it but may need more help on some of the finer setup

The other option is a simpler one and that is to use a Kawasaki KRR150 to power it but not as weird.

I have a pair of Volvo Penta Archimedes 450 (45hp) motors, (also think they were Chrysler 45hp), one was running in a small jet boat but was under powered so replaced apparently and they were free

I was told they were 600cc but have absolutely no info other than back on the 70's they used to be the best setup for boat racing in the under 600cc class.

I have a CTS200 Honda frame that had the motor removed and thought it might be a lol, I also have a TF125 gearbox and was thinking I could mount the Penta sideways and the prop shaft is on the same side as the TF ignition. Replace ignition flywheel with a chain cog on the TF  and add one to the propshaft.

Then I just need a radiator and maybe make the water inlet outlets a bit bigger. I don't care about the weight or the looks as it will be something ridiculous anyway. It has water cooled exhaust

I have an old TS125 exhaust that was bodgied so can make it suit.

I have both electric start or pull start for the engine too but may have to go with pull start as the starter sits underneath

Put the spare into the uncut frame to size it up while I was re-arranging the bikes today.

This will be a slow project as I have a few other things on the go as well, finally sorted the RG150 powervalve issues I think.

I used the spare part engine to mock it up and the biggest issue is gearbox. I have a dual ratio TC125 box or a TF125 Ag box.
