[Futility Vehicle]

Thanks for taking the time to help.

The whole appeal of the new Subaru engine was that it was very cheap and made by an excellent company. Using Vegas Carts parts and a Honda clone would multiply the cost of a swap by about 4, so it isn't very appealing. This is an old farm cart. I use it for moving things like manure and pulled weeds, and Textron and Subaru seem to offer very poor support, so I am not interested in investing a lot of money in it.

I went to Subaru's site, but the EX400-DS6100 does not appear there. I found the EX40, which is supposedly the same engine with a gas tank and muffler. I don't have any literature for the EH35. Perhaps someone can tell me where to find it.

The big difference I see is that the new engine's head would lean back toward the rear end of the cart, possibly invading the territory of other parts. It looks like a couple of brackets would have to be relocated.

The existing engine appears to have no connection to the rear end other than a belt, and the connections to the starter seem to be simple enough to change for a new motor.

It looks like I would need to make a new exhaust, but that doesn't seem like a hard job for a welder.

I am no mechanic, but I am capable of simple machining and fabrication. I can attach a photo of something I just built.

I don't know if the project makes sense. I think it all depends on whether the new engine will fit in the space.
