Car engine swap

BLACK DEATH · 12-21-2009, 11:50 PM

i was talking to this guy about golf cart engine swaps that people are doing now adays and he said I ought to get this used engine from him to do an engine swap into my 99 club car gas. I told him the rotation makes a difference, size, weight etc... its a 3 cylinder, weighs 120 pounds he says etc....

Now its got me thinking and i cant get it out of my mind now. I know it wouldnt work so tell me it wont so i can get it out of my mind and move on

Aren't some of the snowmobile engines used in some engine swaps 3 cyl.?
Where did the engine come from?

It will not work for what you want.......
That's not the engine your looking for.......
move along.......

It won't work.
Many have tried and no one has succeeded.
Just rebuild your stock engine.

Thank you thats what I needed to know, it will not work.
I thought I put that it was from a 1991 geo metro in the subtitle.

Now for a 99 club car gas what will work? I only see swaps that you must run the tranny in reverse to go forward & forward to go reverse. So as i see it will not go fast enough. I did a search but didnt see what I was looking for.

So what swap, if any out there will work for a 99 club car gas. If not I will probably keep this one stock & get something else.

Because of the clockwise rotation the 99 CC is not the best candidate for a CCW big block..... Find an Ezgo

Ok so lets say stock motors, only the FE350 engine is the way to go then or is there another motor from club car that would work?

What about an older club car? What years of Club cars are good candidates to look for to do a big block swap as i thought i read the engine was different? So any year Ez Go is good to go then to big block?
