Engine craddle pics for DuroMax 16hp EZGO Workhorse
I'm having a hard time finding pics of the engine craddle that some of you have made for this 16 HP Clone engine. I would love to see some good quality pics of this craddle going into a EzGo workhorse.
I am doing this swap and I have the old 350 engine out and I'm wanting to get some ideas on the engine mount (craddle). Thanks! Bill |

Re: Engine craddle pics for DuroMax 16hp EZGO Workhorse
I made a cradle for my workhorse when I did the BB. The website is being picky about uploading hi-def pics this AM.... if they don't work just PM me your email and I will send you lots of pics

Thanks! That looks kind of big for the 16hp DuroMax. I was thinking of something a little smaller.

Do you have one of those mounts that you would like to sell?

Re: Engine craddle pics for DuroMax 16hp EZGO Workhorse
I'm sorry I don't. That one was unique. I had removed the cross member in the engine compartment so I could take advantage of all that extra room in the workhorse ...
You might be able to work something out with your original mount....if you built a platform for the engine that bolted to the 2 halves just like the original engine did? Just thinking out loud, the skid plate is already a good starting place. It bolts up..... hmmm |

Re: Engine cradle pics for DuroMax 16hp EZGO Workhorse
I'm having an engine mount made today at the local weld shop. Is is going to be made out of 3/16 steel plate and one piece of angle. The plate will a have bend in it so it will bolt to the front frame of the engine compartment and the stock rear aluminum engine mount.
I will post pics when I get it. It's a little different than what I have seen on here but I think it will work just fine. Very simple. I figured if steel plate will hold my 28 horse Vanguard on my zero turn mower, then it should hold this 16 hp engine for the workhorse! Lol !! |

Re: Engine craddle pics for DuroMax 16hp EZGO Workhorse
Got my cradle back, looks great and fits perfectly. It looks like I'm going to need a 4 0r 5 inch longer belt. I originally had aproximately 10 inches between the clutchs. Now it's more like 14 to 15 inches. Any suggestions? I dont know how some you guy's were able to use the stock belt after installing the clone engine.
