I've got 2 4.5hp engines to do whatever I want with.  Both need a little work but nothing I can't fix.

I just saw the pic of the bike with the engine on it, that would be pretty cool but these engines are a little big.

Ideas?

Both engines on one bike.

Front and rear drive wheels.

The only problem I see with the bike is that it will require me to do some major modifications as well as somehow putting a clutch on it.  There is no way I will use my good bike now, and the only other decent bike I have is 16".

I'm going to draw up an idea in Inventor for the hovercraft.  I've built successful ones before (help a little over 100 pounds easily) with leaf blowers.  These are lawn mower engines BTW.

Unless you want me to build an RC plane, though I still doubt it would work.

Yeah, I don't see how you even need to consider what to do with an engine like that.

Either a 2 engine go cart. I was going to make one, but I didn't have all the stuff needed to get it started and I was trying to make it as low cost as possible. I say, if you are really good at this kind of stuff, make a RC car.

The only potential problem is that these are vertical shaft engines.  Could I turn them and run them on their sides (with a little modification, such as oil and gas tank location)?

Probably not due to lubrication issues
