18 hp briggs in club car

coors2784

Helllo all, new here to the site and new to golf carts. I currently have a 93 cc ds gas with 8 inch lift and 22 inch tires. Seen this site with the bigger engines and had to try it so I bought a used 18 hp vtwin briggs, making a new engine cradle and ordered the cluch shaft adapter, now the fun begins on how to get the shaft machined to length. Is there any other tips that you guys could help with with to make my project run smooth? Thanks soo much carl

WELCOME TO BGW you get the 18 installed it will take you a week to get the smile off your face I put a 16 vanny in my 90 cc, was really shocked how much bottom end torq it has with factory tires no lift. good luck with your build, be sure to post pics

Do you still have the stock clutches?

0517murphy

no , I went with a comet 780, still need to have the other one machined, had to purchase longer belt also. purchased the cart at auction without motor or clutch ,but only gave $20.00 so still under budget so far

Good deal! Do you know if the stock clutch is worth putting in?

Don't think a stock one will fit, a 780 will barely fit. Even then you may need to cut spring perches to fit.

It would depend on how much wear on the clutch, if you go with a new clutch you can get one to fit your shaft without mods. that's why I went that way, and the fact I didn't have one plus the new clutch will handle more rpms,for the new motor.

Roady's probably right , with mine I did not have the stock clutch so could not try to see if it fit. In mine the 780 fit fine with no clearance problems

Is there any mods that should be done with the engone mount try or fuse box?

Things are coming together well. Anyone know where I can get a longer drive belt?
