Default Mad golf buggy!

Easy all! So this is a little mad plan of mine! I work as a sparky and fabricator at a golf club and I was given an old petrol Yamaha golf buggy to run around the estate on. Long story short I took the guvnor off and ran the thing into the ground.

So I was thinking about putting a motorbike engine in it, and welding up the diff or making a solid rear axel with a sprocket. I've been offered a GPX 750 engine all working but thinking the power might just twist up the frame?!

Anyways suggestions please! Want this thing to be a little crazy.

I think a 125 or 250 4 stroke is what you need if you want to use it at work.
