95 Medalist electric to BB??

chopndroptx

Ok I have figured out Im going to convert my cart to a Big Block. Main question I have is what rear end do I need that will work on my Medalist? What years, and does it need to be out of a 4 cycle or 2 cycle cart? Whats my best option and probably easiest to find?

And with the conversion what all will I need? Im sure of the following.
-Gas pedal swap
-New F&R switch
-Gas Tank (of course)
-Rear End
-Engine mount to axle (replace batt rack)


Also what is the best swap for me? I would like a 4 cycle with F&R. With decent speed and tourqe. I was looking at the 18HP swap from CPP but dont you still have to mix oil and gas with those 2 cycles?

I am new to this, just bought my 1st cart (which looks flooded) last weekend. So please bare with me. Thanks! And fabrication is not a issue. My main hobby is Minitruckin', I do bodydrops and air suspension. But my plan for the cart is to lift it, and bag it with a long travel kit.

Ok really?

I know this probably gets asked way to much here, but I cant find my answers searching. And what I do find isnt as specific as what I am needing.

Mainly need to know which axles I can use for this coversion. Or is any newer gas axle?

That will be the next thing I need to find and buy. I dont want to jump on something I find if its not right.

Use a newer 4 stroke rear end. Kits from CPP are not 2 stroke, no oil mixing.

Quit while you're WAY ahead and buy a gas cart. Seriously. That's the best advice.

Gotta go with the Boo on this one!

I thought I read they where 2 stroke, oops. Makes it even better!


I would rather not buy a gas cart, Im already bonded with the one I just bought. And if I did buy one I would probably do the samething anyway. I like building things from the ground up. And I am no where near being ahead trust me.

This is what I am working with. And none of my electronics are good except maybe the F&R.

What model and year carts have the 4 stroke rear end? I believe I saw somewhere a ST-350(could be the wrong name) has one.

Any year 4-stroke ez-go cart rearend would work. I used one from a wrecked 2006 st-350 I found on ebay. If you keep your eyes peeled you can find them for $300-$400 every now and then. You'll need the forward and reverse switch and the bracket that attaches to the rearend. I used a dual cable setup from a 98 ez-go. Newer models use a single cable system and you'll need to know which one you're using before you order the CPP kits because they come with new f/r cables. Any year txt gas tank will work. I'll be posting pics of my electric to gas conversion soon.

Thank you for the reply!! Thats what I need to know for now, the search is on!

Cant wait for the pics! Let me know when you get them posted.

The best/cheapest way to get the parts for this conversion is to find a cart with a blown engine, then strip it of the needed parts.. Any 1997-up TXT or ST gasser would be a good candidate for a "donor" cart..
