This has come up from time to time on this forum and my answer is always the same. Of course anything is possible with enough time and money. These are some but not all the problems you will face. First the engine must fit between the frames or custom frames must be made. I would bet the rent that the Zenoa 23 won't fit between the frames. If it does fit, a custom motor mount would have to be machined which wouldn't be much of a problem if you are a machinist. Next you will have to cut custom gears because a gasser gear ratio isn't available for the Raptor. Once you've overcome these obstacles you would end up with a heavy underpowered Raptor and that can't be fixed.
