BA XR6T Go-kart would be delicious.. But I think a dune buggy chassis would be more fitting. The 4.0L motor is huge, looks like a train engine when dumped on the ground.

How big are you planning on making the cart? The little go-cart with lawn-mower engines fly, but one with 4 of the best litres in Australia would be a hell of a things to see. Some friends of mine used to race a buggy with a 4-cylinder VW engine that would beat SS commodores off the line, so an AU powered one should demolish any competition. I'm keen to see the results.

I would go Carb not EFI and do not use the VCT version as you will need the ECU to control it.
The lighter a Go Kart is the faster it will go
