Default Honda 400ex motor swap

I have a complete and running 2004 Honda TRX400ex that I want to take the motor out of and put into my 2003 EZGO. Where do I start and what's the best choice for a rear end? Any help is appreciated. Thanx.

IRS with a chain set to a box. Something like this edge buggy, but think smaller shocks. You can also use a rear out of an irs atv. One just sold on ebay for 100 bucks that would have been perfect.

Hell yea! But my biggest issue is that the 400ex doesn't have reverse. I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my ezgo rear end since that's that's where the forward/reverse is. Would it be possible to get a sprocket machined to fit the splined shaft that the ezgo rear clutch fits on?

I'm not well versed on the rears. I'd think you may have very low gears as a live axle is 1:1. Might work.... Others on here would know.
