Default Re: Big Block Options?

Vangaurds hold the torque advantage over the single cylinder clones. Clones hold the rpm advantage over the v-twins. I think either can be a reliable option with a good maintenance schedule. Noise level can be controlled depending on your fabrication skills. All these engine have been put into numerous carts, and as long as there are no worn or defective parts they drive like a stock cart. Typically though, v-twins require a lift kit to fit under the seat where clones can be put in stock level carts. It may come down to if you want to keep the pedal start feature vs. a key start like a car. Smaller displacement clones (<460) typically retain the starter generator of the stock cart. Larger clones and v-twins typically have on-board starters and charging systems. Another thing to keep in mind is that the smaller clones have more race bred parts readily available, that works into how you want the cart to perform aspect. Speed parts usually increase high rpm durability thus increasing your speed ceiling of the cart, but may translate to reduced durability and increased wear.
