Default Yamaha G1 and G2 Frame Differences?

I currently have a g1 Yamaha gas cart. Have the opportunity to purchase a g2 electric cart. Are the frames the same on these? Can I just swap the swingarm, motor, axle, etc? Would love to have the newer style body, and upgraded suspension. Thanks!

The frames are completely different. Guys have swapped newer bodies onto g1's without much trouble.

They are similar but not the same. People have swapped the cradles between them that is all you really need to easily mount the whole different engine and trans, but you may have to weld mounts and such. The width of the frame there is different, G1 lifted have tight room to clutch and frame the G2/9 more room there. Swapping the body is said to not be that hard since carts are similar sizes, but I have not done it.

If you could get a cradle and trans for a G2/9 and put in the elec cart, you would be set to toss a clone in it and have a nice ride....and have two carts lol!
