Jeffrey,  First,if you haven't been involved in vintage karting before welcome aboard. Nice find there! You could begin by reading the Mac rebuild article written by Scott Kniesel on vintagekartforum.com. If those engines have been sitting they need a complete teardown and checked out before running them. One thing that happens is the needle bearings for the wrist pin become stuck and damage will occur if run that way. There are plenty of us out there that are willing to help newbies...just ask us as you go. You will want to post what you did here on the site that I just gave you. VKA has I site but facebook works better for them. There are several good engine builders out there: Bill McCornack in Wisonsin, Terry Ives in Calif., Jeff Brown in Michigan, not sure if he is still doing Macs but Scott Kneisel in the East. Hope this helps you for a starting point.
Tom
