Nissan 300 zx motor is 165 hp 15" tracks x10' long is 3600 sq inches on the ground that's .66 lbs per sq inch at a 2400 lb vehicle should work pretty good.
I think you are on to something Chris. A suspension would add a lot to making these things more usable. Eliminate the wheels and tires and replace with tracks (that never de-bead, lose air, etc) and eliminate all the other chains and misc. items you mentioned and you will be an innovator in this field.
In fact, I picked up Brushcutter's Cushman Marsh model Trackster. It's hydraulic, tracked without tires, and has a leaf suspension. I am very impressed with this thing and it is smoother than any other amphibious atv I have experienced.
I would post some pics of the engine in and the headers I hand fabricated but cant remember how to post them. The jeep rear end was a drum brake setup so i changed it to discs and fabricated a drum to mount the plastic 1 inch thick sprockets' on that drive the tracks. I still have to mount the radiator but the two electric fans are on it. So far I have fabricated one of the shoes that roll on the track, Its the one in the front leading arm suspension.
Oh I forgot I spend a lot of time riding my Razor 1000 and quad and keeping them up also and have bought a tig welder and aluminum spool gun to help with this work.
