mc450 makes a nice mc49 look a like.
considered a cheater motor as it has a 1.5 stroke not the 1.375 stroke found in mc49's.
so most venues would have you run with the mc49's but in a different class for results.
most like a mc6 in specs.

can't recall but i'm pretty sure you have 6 intake ports and three exhaust ports.
nice candidate for conversion.
you'll need a stuffer ,a intake and carb. and a thin ringed kart piston if you wanna get best performance.
as it sits around 5-6 hp easily.
