99 ezgo work horse

fearless89 · 09-09-2009, 08:27 AM

Hello all this is my first post on this site! I recently aquired a 99 ezgo work horse minus the engine( still a good buy for 140.00)! I am looking for some advice reguarding what motor to install, should i lift the cart while i am at it ( what are the benfits of lifting)also what would be the best manual / parts book for this cart because it has some linkage on the rear end an the front motor mount i am not sure about. It would have been easier if i had seen this complete and dissassembeled my self but oh well! I will beusing this at a campground to go back and forth to the marina etc. I dont need the fastest cart but a little high performance is fun! I have not yet determined my budget because i am still trying to figure what kind of things i should or should not do! Thanks in advance!

Definitely, definitely go with a big block... a 6" lift and some bigger tires. That sounds like a great buy. Can you post some pics of this gem?

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! you all say put a big block in and i think of a chevy 454! lol but seriously what are we talking about and where is the best place to obtain one and what should i expect to pay?

It might be easier to ask this first. What kind of cash are you wanting to spend on your new toy? $500.00? $5,000.00?

fearless89 · 09-09-2009, 03:35 PM

I want to spend as little as possible, but i also believe it only cost a few pennies more to go first class! lol I guess i would like to stay in the $600-1000$ range if possible?

mikesmotortoys · 09-09-2009, 03:38 PM

I don't think you are going to get it going for that. I'm betting $3,000.00 minimum...

scottyb · 09-09-2009, 04:09 PM

Most people can't but some who are handy and resourceful could get it running for that $ ...... When we say big block we are talking about the 16 - 25 hp V-twin horizontal shaft motors... If you can find one used and fab your own engine cradle etc, etc, then you can do it..... otherwise, sell the cart to me and I'll do it

Not to toot my own horn but i am very handy and resourceful! I guess i am willing to spend more but i may have to do it a little at a time and i would rather get it usuable faster!
