Can be done for $400 including the engine.

No disrespect guys but 300lb 7000rpm 22 go cart HP is not the same as 900lb golf cart hp. TORQUE is whats required in a big block. Something a single banger just cant do.

Takes me back to the day a guy pulled in with a 350 ezgo with 295 head running nitrous. Told me it put out 18-20 hp. I pulled out my wifes yard cart with a stock 18 vanny with low tone muffler and said line er up. He was so far behind me I thought his cart stalled. I will kiss your butt under the main stop light in town if your 22hp clone is within 100 feet of a STOCK 18hp vanguard in a 1/8 mile. Oh yeah I'll give ya 2 hours to draw a crowd.
