Default Converting electric club car ds to gas

I have a 1988 club ds that I am going to convert from eletric to gas. This is my first time working on a golf cart as well. I bought a DuroMax XP18HPE 18 Hp Electric Start Engine with a engine plate as well. I'm wondering what are things I should be looking for to do. Also I'm looking to make the golf kart go in reverse. So I need some ideas on the reverse gear box. Thank you.

You will be better suited to repost this in the Clubcar Gas section as there will be more participant there then here in the sparky section.

Yep. And you will probably find that you will be much better off starting out with a gas frame.

This isn't possible w/o at least a gas rear end, is it? I don't see how an electric drive can accept so much as a sprocket to allow for the installation of a go cart motor.

You would either have to hack the housing up (you can YouTube it and see someone hacked one up to convert) or machine a custom cover plate to mount where the electric motor dies that has a bearing mounted in it that would allow you to run a shaft out of the rear and mount a sprocket.
With all that said... if you end up buying a gas rear, please PM me with the specs of your motor/axle setup. I’m trying to find a match to one I have and I’d be interested in buying it from you to offset the cost of the other axle.
