Kawasaki 13hp 401cc exgo rxv engine swap into precedent
I just got a club car Precedent with the fe290 engine. I see EZGO 08+ use Kawasaki 13hp engines that seem to look similar but I can't find any pics of the mount. Has anyone tried to do this swap? If so what adapts and what needs to be modified?

Re: Kawasaki 13hp 401cc exgo rxv engine swap into precedent
Welcome to BGW Bob!
I'm not very familiar with EZ-GO's Kawi FJ engine, so I'm just putting this out there... One thing for sure that you'll need to consider is... the EZ-GO's Kawasaki FJ400D spins counter-clockwise, and your Club Car's FE290D spins clockwise, so you'll have to have the shifter in reverse to go forward, you'll loose top end speed, but you'll have a heck of A LOT of low end torque! The carburetor is laid out different, so you'll need to modify the intake tube, and the throttle linkage is quite a bit different, and I'm pretty sure you'll have to change the exhaust. (FE290 exhausts are different from the 350/400 exhaust) as for the footprint? I'm not sure... but I'd imagine that the mounting holes would be the same. Other than that? ... |

Look in the big block section
I do not think any body has done this but many have used Briggs Honda or similar engines. Probably cheaper than a ezgo engine new |

Yes if you have one already it would work.
Just thinking with it spinning the wrong way a clone or Briggs with a rev kit would help make up for the top speed lost. I do not have any idea how many rpms a ezgo engine can spin. |

I dont have one but they are about $900 new on ebay. Rather cheap imo. Didnt know they spun CC so that can be a kink in the system. maybe i just need to hunt for a fe 350 or 400

Those seem very hard or rare to find. Most 350 have a rod through the block
