No, these conversions would be more dificult roll over because they are lower to the ground. The only major problem is that these engines were designed to run in winter so you would have to switch to some cooler plugs. Make sure you get a fan cooled one the liquid ones don't use air like quads they use the snow it self. The conversions are more like a honda odyssey go-cart than a quad, no plulling power but lots of speed.

I can vouch for that! i wish our oddysey was running, and i think you brought up a good point of cooling the thing. and like i said earlier, the snowmobiles are dirt cheap out here, you can be at an auction with a good running sled and four wheeler and the four wheeler can easily pull 5 times more cash.
