go cart motor in golf cart

i have a late 90's model electric ez go cart. i was wondering if a 6hp go cart motor will power it and will i get good results using the factory electric rear end?

in one word NO ,, not enough H P or torque , also it would loose reverse , if you do go with a gas engine in the elect cart I would guess that an 11 hp would give you a little less than the elect setup , the golf cart is much heavier than a go cart .

what if i put a torque converter on it?

When you convert torque you loose a little ,, when you don't have enough to begin with what would converting it help ?

I think it would work if you pulled the body off, got rid of all non needed bolts and walked beside it while steering and holding the gas down with your hand.

Remember the "150cc motor?" from a quad?.....
