May need to make it longer, and support it on the bottom. Even a Bike has about 5 inches of neck
I can do anything I set my mind to... the impossible just takes me a little longer Tech Manual mod ,
If ya need it, and cant find it... Just ask.... Pm if I'm not on line

I am putting a centrifugal clutch on it that I had ordered a while back and didn't have a use for ; I know what you are saying why not keep the torque converter on the mini bike? I am not because it is going on the build off.
