89 Club Car BB Engine swap & more

Ordered the Big Block Engine Kit from VC today. Thought I would do some research before it shows up in a couple weeks. I ordered complete kit with clutches and longer throttle cable. Is there anything else I might need to get or do to be ready. I am strongly thinking of getting Jakes long travel suspension and disc brakes. I have the Jakes 6" lift on my Yamaha and it looks great but rides rough for this old man.
Any and all advice and recommendations is appreciated.
I first posted this under gas Club Car then it was recommended I post here

Think about inspect and cleaning your starter generator. Inspect/replace your fuel pump and check your batter. As far as installing the engine in your cart, everything comes in the kit. The disc brake set up is a good idea.

Let is know if you need help!

What is the recommended fuel pump for the VC BB. I see many different brands on Amazon.

would this high performance pump work? It says 94 and up and mine is an 89.

if there is nothing wrong with your old fuel pump why replace it? you will probably need a bypass for the fuel pump..

They are cheaper on Ebay. $11 shipped.

I don't know. Replace fuel pump has been recommended. I am unsure of condition of fuel pump on cart because engine was seized when I bought it.

After spending the money to buy a high performance engine plus all the other parts to install it -- not replacing the fuel pump would be a bad idea. There cheap and you know -- if you have any problems it won't be lack of fuel. Yes you will need a by-pass to keep the pressure on the carburetor low.
Here's a site that has a lot of useful info.
