Re: Talk Me Into a Big Block Swap
I got the KF82 motor running in my '90 cart for now but I'm still doing the clone swap here in the next month or so. I left the back seat off when I put it back together since I know now that the KF82 sucks at hauling more than two adults.

Re: Talk Me Into a Big Block Swap
I would run the KF82 for the rest of the season and then do the conversion over the winter. Less down time and you never know what kind of problems you may run into.

Re: Talk Me Into a Big Block Swap
Are you going to use the VC S/G mount and pulley ? I would use those 2 items and their exhaust header for ease of installation.

Re: Talk Me Into a Big Block Swap
Sure am. I want to retain my pedal start setup and yeah their header seems to be the best starting point for my exhaust. I think Slonomo said that he had the s/g pulley and that maybe he'd sell it.

Re: Talk Me Into a Big Block Swap
Yes their stuff can make it a lot easier, if you have to fabricate things its time consuming. I am making a lever to connect my throttle cables right now, have to up the ratio the new carb needs over twice the cable travel. Its a pain tho I like messing with stuff. This is a slide carb for a scooter/motorcycle, I hope it runs better than the CV carb I had on there. It ran good but it had issues at high speeds it didn't want to open all the way at times.

Talk Me Into a Big Block Swap
I say go for it man. I see you have already started ordering things. My family and I have literally rode every street/dirt road in a 30 mile radius. We would have never taken the KF82 that far but now it’s more like a four wheeler/side by side. If we want to ride at 15-17 mph we do so and enjoy the cruising. If we want to run to a friends house at 30-33 mph we do so as well. Best investment I have made lately. Please make an official thread when you start your journey.
