1982 EZ GO clone build
I have a friend who is looking to get more out of a very tired 1982 EZ GO. I have a spare clone 16 HP home. I see the engine in these is sideways. Before I start tearing things apart will the engine fit in here without changing manifolds and the like. I know I will have to fab up some engine mounts. I had to fab up an intake manifold when I had the motor in my G-9 Yamaha. I got so sick of it falling apart I bought another clone with the intake toward the rear so it would fit with no modifications. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: 1982 EZ GO clone build
Is that the 2 stroke cart, you have the no-reverse issue otherwise it will fit or not. They don't rev real high so you don't get a lot of speed increase, but if you have one you know that. Did you see my thread I just posted pics of the air intake system I put on. Thought it would be easier with the top mount airfilter thing on the carb but it was not that much nicer. It came out ok but not like I had planned.

Re: 1982 EZ GO clone build
Its a two stroke. I have to talk more to the owner but I have another question. I am a two stroke guy for many years. Snowmobiles dirt bikes and the like. You can get a lot more performance from these motors with not a lot of money. Would it be better to just do some cylinder, ports, head and exhaust work or go with a clone? Not sure how much more power you can get out of this motor. The air box alone is very restrictive. I was wondering just with a bigger carb and after market air cleaner performance might increase noticeable. Not day and night but more speed I would think and he may be happy with that.

Re: 1982 EZ GO clone build
You might try the ezgo forum. I had a friend years ago that put a sled carb on one, and sled parts in the clutch. It would stand on the back bumper taking off with two people on it. Then it blew up. Maybe better to drop a sled motor in it then, some of them do run backwards. All of them will long as you can make the ignition do it and start it, the skidoo starts itself in reverse.
