Ideas to start building a drift kart

Wanna do a drift kart build for adult and I couldn't be more stoked or slightly in over my head lol, I picked up a stripped down frame from a buddy, and the plan is to turn it into a little sideways monster for parking lot fun. I'm thinking 6.5hp to start, maybe a Predator 212 with a torque converter setup, then I'm planning on running PVC sleeves over slicks for the low budget drift magic, I'm still figuring out seat placement and throttle response though
Need ideas please

Building a drift kart for adults? Starting off with a Predator 212 and a torque converter is definitely a great choice. Just make sure to keep the seat low and centered for that sweet balance. Oh, and using a bike brake lever for the throttle? Super smart! It'll give you that quick response you're looking for.
