It is just a matter of using something to convert the the drive wheel ( I don’t if its a belt or chain) to a belt or chain that will drive the wheels.
Simple as that. How is what makes it interesting.
Drive the lawnmower! get some nitrogen tanks and purple haze underneath. haha
Usally its a clutch at the end of the engine shaft, some use a belt and some have a sprocket at the end to use a chain. A torque converter kit works great so a 5.5 engine. I’ve built a couple of go carts in my day and they’re fun to do, I’ll post some sites to check out parts and stuff. Good luck
