What engines will fit?

I just got a late 70's early 80's argo 6x6 with no motor and was wondering if anyone could help me with what will fit in there and where i can find a motor.

You can make just about anything fit if you are mechanically inclined. I am seriously looking at the 3 cyl. sprint motor. 138 lbs. 50 hp. water cooled! full size alt. and cheaper than a regular small motor and parts can be got anywhere.

yea i was thinking of doing somthing big like that too. I just graduated from automotive school today so hopefully I'll have more money to put into this thing it looks like a blast to drive.

PS im thinking about a 377cc rotax F/C(ski-doo engine).very durable motors,air intake on proper side.a buddy has an old 8 wheel with a chapperal 400cc,but air intake on wrong side,runs hot
