Default ezgo electric to gas conversion

I have a 2001 TXT 48v lifted cart I am looking to convert to gas (due to lack of range with my electric set-up). I have a line on a 89 Marathon doner cart. How hard would it be to remove the inner frame and power train support from the doner and mount it into the TXT? The TXT has a leaf spring set-up, the marathon has a coil spring. Are there any watch-outs? Will the inner frame line up with the current axle placement. Thanks in advance for the input!

Welcome to the madness, you are converting from a different style cart but here is some reference to things you may run into, post pics along the way so other members may be able to help.

You might want to sell it and buy a gas cart. There are lots of things to change if you try to convert it and it might actually cost you much more than the alternative.

Buy a Honda eu1000 generator and leave it in the cart connected and running!?! Not really sure if you can charge and run at the same time... may need a 2000... just an idea from an RV'er point of view.

As long as you have some fabrication skills,its do-able.You can swap the axles by changing the mounts,and then build an engine cradle as needed.Look around the site a bit,and do some homework,and get ideas.If both carts were the same model,it would be a simple,weekend swap,including paint and cleaning. Since they are different,it makes it a cool,one-off custom-build.Hope this helps.

I will work on posting pic's but conversion is complete. Next week I am putting my old electric set-up back in the donor cart and posting it for sale. This was a fairly easy conversion. After getting the donor cart back on the road I will work on an engine upgrade to get my speed back.
