Default Converting from G1 motor to V Twin Motor

Ok, I know I am new here and this might sound like a stupid question, but how on earth are you guys putting the V twin motors in? I am sure I am missing something. Please explain if possible and GO SLOW. I just bought an 80's something 6 seater G1 (vin # to follow later). The motor needs to either get rebuilt or replaced. I have a 13 hp motor with electric start sitting here, but didn't know that you could put these kinds of motors in the carts, but then I saw some of the guys here have done it. Can you please lead me in some direction? Thanks

if you put it in a g1 you will lose reverse.

That's kinda what I thought, but what about putting a hydromatic transmission from a tractor/mower on the cart to use one of those motors and still keep your reverse? Have you heard of this? Thanks for replying so fast.

Superficially, I think a 13hp motor might be a little weak to run the pump and the cart??
Although, I like the idea I think it would be the first hydro cart?

you figure out reverse let me know so i can have it on my 65hp, pain without reverse but who needs it going straight fassst. ive heard swapping out a newer rear end with reverse in it is pretty doable but havent found anybody that has tried it. i have a golf cart junk yard here in town and am thinking about seeing how much i can pick up a rear end for and trying myself

yea but were talking about a g1 which gets reverse form the motor running in reverse direction, so if he had reverse in a g1 his motor would of had to run in both directions. i have heard of it in some smaller bravo engines but nothing that big

I have a gearcase with reverse gear on my Polaris sled. This was before they made the electronic reverse which has been on Golf Carts since the early 80's??

I am working on swapping a rear end with reverse into a G1 right now, and I have a 14 horse briggs I will be putting in the cart. So far the rear end is mounted and looks like it will work. I thought about going the sled route with reverse on the sled, but it looked like a lot of work. I had to make adapter plates and use some ubolts around the frame to mount the new rear, but it wasn't difficult. Once I prove out if it works I may weld it in. If you are looking for a rear end www.***********.com has them listed on their site.
