I'm interested in that too.
Just bought a V6 and I'm accusing it of having cylinder-deactivation because it drops to running rough on the tallest gear.
I'd be happy running on 3 all the time.
As I understand it, a custom drive-wheel needs to be attached to the driveshaft at the front. To either drive a chain or a v-belt depending on how much load there will be from the motor.
I'm guessing something from a 900cc-1600cc Motorcycle chain (or a motorcycle drive-shaft) would have the approximate strength. But I'd have to look up the exact parts to know for sure.
Maybe something like:

So $59 worth of bits from a Honda CBR-1000
