I found a old bike that is from the 70s it has plastic fenders gas tank so its just for looks but the frame is very heavy its a 20 inch bike with heavy duty front shocks and the same for the rear with BMX handle bars I am wondering if there anyway to put a motor on hear I don't know how to put pictures on hear so it will be hard to give any input any help would be great Thank's.

You're not likely to get a frame mounted engine in there.
But rack mount ought to be workable.

Old, Fat, and still faster than you
Very cool old bike! But not really a good choice for a engine kit.
You want a steel frame 26" mens mountain bike or cruiser with the traditional frame tubing layout, no weird size tubes or strange shapes, just good old steel round tube.
Look for a good quality component group with V-brakes at least. If you get a bike with regular layout and components, it's MUCH easier to get a kit installed correctly.
Especially for new builders.
