I wasn't able to start it up yet due to no gas tank,,,, but it does have good compression.

That's actually a weird looking engine because its so square looking. What are you going to do with it?

I think your correct its a kt100 engine they were used in alot of racing carts and still are I have a couple of co-workers that ran that engine and I thinking they were alky motors or maybe they just ran that class??
