90 club car engine swap

At a Minimum the motor and S/G mounts along with their adjustable carb.

But if you use the stock clutch you may not be able to swap a better clutch in the future.
Reason is you may or will have to cut the shaft down to use a stock clutch.
Once it is cut, I don't think you can put a comet or other clutch on it.
I think this is one reason I haven't started a swap yet, because of this & its $250 for a comet clutch plus a rear driven clutch is under $250.
I have a 90 DS I wanna swap also, I've been slacking as I have so many projects and just picked up a 12 Yamaha that I want to get going stock for now, then dthe club car swap.

why cant things just be easy... if i cant upgrade i should get the clutch but shoot the motor mount and clutch is more than the motor... so much for trying to go cheap.. to bad theres not someone in the sacramento area on this fourm that has done this already... i would love to have a bunch of beer with him...lol

[BLACK DEATH]

Not too cheap at all

You could always just buy a new crankshaft from Vegascarts for $69 to upgrade the clutch later.

Good point and do the rod etc... also...
But to be honest do the clutch now

If you are just going to do a sort of stock clone and are on a tight budget using the stock clutch with the steel taper adapter is fine provided the stock clutch is in good shape. A while ago we had outlined doing a low budget clone swap using just a few items and the whole budget including the engine was $600.The 2 mounts plus carb,timing key,and clutch adapter from vegascarts come to $303. Areas that might add cost are the belt,exhaust,air cleaner and carb isolator if using the carts fuel pump and gas tank.

I think Skoal82 built several low budget clone swaps using the $169 powerland engine a while back. You might want to read his threads on using base clone engines.
