86 club car engine swap. What engine?
im picking up an 86 club car...gas. it has no engine. but the rear axle is there. im getting the cart for 225. so my understanding from what ive read on this forum is that i can mount a snowmobile engine backwards (so engine pulley and axle pulley line up) and it will work? is this correct?

Not sure about the snowmobile idea but here's a thread where one of our guys put a 13hp clone into his 1986 gas Club Car. Seemed to work out pretty well:

yea. thats kind of what i was thinking...ive seen the snowmobile setup in other carts....just wasnt sure about the club car...looks pretty straight forwards. same basic set up as running that clone motor, as far as setting it up...hopefully it works out as straight forward as it looks

Keep in mind that the motor in your Club Car was a counter-clockwise motor, so any motor you transplant into it will need to spin that direction.

Re: 86 club car engine swap. What engine?
I talked to the kid with the engine. He said when looking at the crank it spins ccw. So my idea is I will mount the engine the correct way. The driven clutch will go on a jack shaft. Then I will remove the cart driven pully and weld on a sprocket hub to the shaft in its place. So in my mind this will work. Now the only question is how I am going to gear it. I'm thinking the rear end needs something small like an 11t. So if I did 11-11 from the jack shaft to rear end that will be 1-1 so it should make the drive as if the engine were directly mounted to the rear end. Anyone see any issues with this?
