I've only used Craigslist- I check once a week for them specifically. Do yourself a search of ATV's/motorcycles by engine size(ie. 200cc,250cc,300c,ect...) See what type drive they have (chain or shaft) to figure out what you can use. Chain drive is definitely the easiest. Once you have this information you can decide based off price and manditory items wanted with an engine. "I'm a firm believer that bigger isn't always better" when it comes to these toys. If you have someone build the swingarm (you have no drawing) you'll be limited by their ingenuity for the design- you must have the complete engine for this fabrication. My builds are all experimental and on-going as far as durability, utilize whatever portions of my build threads you deem suitable for your project as every buggy is a little different.
