Re: 1987 club car
Any motor you replace will need to be counterclockwise rotation in order to work properly. I’m not 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure that all FE400s are clockwise rotation. You can do a clone swap and retain your pedal start. I’m about to do one in my ‘90 gas Club Car.

Re: 1987 club car
The most common one I’ve seen done around here is a Predator 420 swap. But there are lots of others that are pretty much all the same. They’re all based on the Honda GX390 engine. Vegas Carts makes all the parts to swap them into our older Club Cars. The only thing you really have to do is fab up a muffler and tailpipe.

Re: 1987 club car
Here’s a link to my thread where I was asking for advice on the swap. One of the members made a parts list which I’ve been referencing as I order my parts:
