trans. primary fitment

I got a santee 4-speed frame and i've been searching for a motor, i'm leaning toward a crate evo. My question is, if i use a 4-speed kicker would i have any issues with connecting the two with a primary belt drive? It is also set up for chain final drive. Any help would be greatly appreiciated

If the Santee frame is a clone of a 4 speed frame, you may not be able to fit the Evo into it...

The paper work i got w/ the frame says it'll hold any big twin except twin cam, including evos and strokers. (custom chrome part#650197)
