Vanguard or other in G1

woodsrider823 · 09-01-2009, 08:58 AM

I just picked up a pretty junked G1 I am pretty pumped to fix it up and start modifying it. One thing I would like to do is put a new more powerful motor in. There are a couple nice horizontal shaft motors in my area one is a 16 hp vanguard which I am very interested in, but there are some other Hondas and Tecumseh engines also. I know the site sponsors sell kits including the engine. But where can I buy a clutch/torque converter for a horizontal shaft engine separately? Vanguard or Honda or any other? Is there a place to buy these or are there kits that dont include the engine? Also what else besides wiring and the clutch would I need to do this conversion. I know I will lose reverse thats fine for now. Thanks, any help or input on this would be appreciated.

Thanks I was looking at their kits online but only found ones that included the engine. I will give them a cal land see if they sell the kit minus the engine. Thanks. Anybody do a similar swap to this. I have been searching the site but not found any good threads on this. I have found some snowmobile swaps but nothing with a little 16hp twin in a G1. i will keep looking though. Thanks
