Ok i have a old chaparral looking for cheap ways to re power.
Would like to convert to 4 stroke which would mean changing drive system too.
Where would i start looking

What are you driving? What type and extent of riding do you do?
There are many options out there though some fit better or easier than others.
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.

It's a old white chaparral with a 340 jlo 2 cycle in it now that is tired, used basically for going up and down the same hill carring stuff hill is about 150 feet at a 20 to 30 degree angle depending on where you measure . Looking for cheap and reliable. If you replace drive clutch on motor do you also have to replace driven on transmission?
many guys seem happy with the harbor freight 23 h.p. 4 cycle motor. it's affordable, not sure how hard it would be to fit in your machine. you will probably get some replies about it here soon. good luck, j.b.
Unless you find something used the Predator gx390 or Duromax clones seem to be the cheapest engines out there, just look for something with a 1" keyed crankshaft then find either a Salisbury clutch, the comet continuance or the comet Duster clutch to match your belt width. The 2 stroke driven will work though you find you need to replace the spring with either a green or red spring.
Exhaust should be your biggest issue to overcome, so it vents out of the machine.
