1960 Vespa 400 Microcar - test start outside with Harley Davidson Sportster engine




harley powered vespa car pretty cool,hear is a vespa mini car that was found on youtube ,they installed a harley 1200cc harley engine in the back of a vespa car,
The 1960 Vespa 400 Microcar that we put a '99 1200cc Harley Davidson Sportster engine into is out and running under it's own power.

Wiring is complete. Interior is 2/3rds done. We still need to mount the doors, make door panels, and a few odds and ends but....it runs and moves!!
The power goes from the engine through jackshafts and gears to a Mitsubishi Eclipse rear for power.
 they made a transfer case with jackshafts
 
engine installed looks good


rear end installed



Mitsubishi rear mounted in the new rear set up with the old halfshafts coupled and welded to frame and connected to  new halfshafts.
