I'm sure this would be a great conversion. This is what those "Legends" and 
"Midget" 
sprint cars run. Fabricating the mounts would be a challenge, as would hooking 
the thing 
up to rear wheels (not to mention tweaking the fuel and ignition advance 
curves).... but 
having ridden a a big bore street bike a few times, I can tell you you'd be in 
for a heck 
of a ride!
