Default I have a 83 EZGO that I want to put a Honda GX640 Engine

What kind of rear end do I need?

will the stock one work?

What else do I need besides a clutch?

and do I need a new driven clutch also?

i will be putting this in the cart to the left....

I saw that on craigs!

You need a later model 4 stroke rear end.
And a big block engine cradle for starters.

Yes it could be....
A lot goes into a BB conversion that is not initially apparent. Misc things you will need.
Both clutches
Cradle
4 stroke differential
fuel pump
air cleaner
throttle linkage
exhaust system
Drive Belt
and more....

If you are up to it it is a good looking motor.
That is how I found my 25hp Subaru for my workhorse.

One set of gears in the differential with 2 clutches producing a constant variable transmission (CVT) of power.

is there somewhere that I can find all of these parts ?

it comes with intake and exhaust.

what kind of shifter do I need?

and where can I find the clutch?

can I use a stock driven clutch with a high performance clutch?
