Older Henchcrafts, Baileys or ERCs are all good.

If you can find a good ERC buy it and go racing. You may have to get motor mounts for your engine. Get some experience before you jump in with both feet. To convert a midget you will need rear axle and sprockets (new $600.00 to 700.00. Motor mounts another $200.00 or so. Everything else should be able to work. Checking classified would save money but would be time consuming. There are several complete cars out there with spares. Spares can be expensive. If you are new to open wheel racing a $6000.00 car is as likely to put you in the winners circle as a $25,000.00 car. It ain't cheap but it is a lot of fun and that is what you should be looking for.
