I have seen a three wheeled go cart where the front of a bike was cut off and welded to a small piece of metal (i know that you didn't want to weld, but a shop would probably do that for you pretty cheaply). I had an excellent website about connecting a lawnmower motor, but I can't find it now. I'll try and look again.

You cannot put the engine sideways because it doesnt work like that, so you need to connect it through gears or somthing.

You'd probably want a chain and sprocket. Mainly to step down the rotational speed of the shaft and trade yourself up some torque.
