I have never seen a bike that looks like that. There is only 2 people on here that would have the answer. Posting the pic should be helpful

It's a 2stroke 49cc Piston port X7 someone has removed the bottom tube supports for the engine mount it looks like it's mostly there and would be a perfect candidate for a engine swap

Looks like a minibike engine was in there. A predator probably.

Whatever you're going to put in there make sure the engine spins the right way 😏

If you're on a tight budget and just want to get it going the bicycle engine kits spin the proper direction and come with almost all the parts to get it working you may have to cannibalize a bicycle US Pro 80cc Bike Bicycle Motorized 2 Stroke Petrol Gas DIY Motor Engine Kit Set 718174112039 | eBay

If you have an unlimited budget I would go with a harbor freight predator Ghost engine dry clutch with a SKF bearing Jack shaft but that's going to take some fabrication work and welding...

Also depends on if you want a 2 stroke or 4 stroke. A predator 212 can be bought for around 75-100 on the used market and as long as the engine is not frozen, they will run with very little extra, they also have the gas tank and exhaust built in.
Whatever you decide it should be a fun project.

Thank you for the help I was also deciding between a 2 stroke or 4 but since this is my first pocket bike build I think maybe 2 might be better lol but I will definitely post my progress and most likely need more help along the way my next think I'm looking for is a body kit any ideas?

Thank you I was just looking at the frame trying to find a spot, I will be ordering the engine and the mount this weekend I'm excited to start this project my next question would be should I change the forks because they are rusty, and the boots on them are rotted out, and a body kit what size would have a body kit for this frame it's kinda weird
Hopefully you can clean up and paint the forks and repair your plastics with a fiberglass boat repair kit and paint. ( They make a lot of good specialized paint for plastic nowadays in spray cans )

If you have an unlimited budget you could go with a Grom front end and a YSR body kit
