Default Polaris 400 swap

Hello, I'm a fanuga...and I was looking for some insight from you folks. I am putting a polaris 400 in place of my Honda 24hp. I'm wondering if someone out there has done it and what the hurdles were...?

This is a pretty common swap... I have not done this one personally but I've seen some installations and they didn't look to hard.

Rememeber you need a good spot for the radiator.. other than that just fab up the engine mounts so the clutches are lined up and fit the belt you plan on using.

what cart are working with? ... Ezgo?

It's a Par Car. I was hoping to see how someone routed the exhaust pipe and radiator. It didn't look too hard to me either but...you never know. Did you hear if they worked OK?

Ohh ya! they are very fast and can be built to 70+HP ....

Here's my friend Blake's cart: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/bike-...aris-cart.html

It's a smaller motor so it doesn't take up much room.. Don't know anything about Par Cars tho
