Default 2012 Ezgo TXT w/ 13 hp Kawasaki BB swap

Hi guys, I purchased FIVE 2012 ezgo gas carts a while back for $5000! Ive been decking each one of them out with lifts, 23" tires and rear flip seats and selling to make a little scratch on the side. My question is, the last cart I have has a thrown rod in the 401 cc Kawasaki, I have a chance to buy a new Honda 22HP v twin for $700, what all is involved in mounting this engine? I know my older ezgo's required a new cradle, but this one kind of looks like the engine will just bolt right in to the oem engine support. I have a Comet 720 clutch sitting on the shelf, I think all I need is the exhaust, which I think I can purchase from Vegas Carts. Has anyone else done the BB swap in this newer models? Thanks

I don't think you are going to find many people that have done this swap to a cart so new. Plus those 13.5 horse Kawasaki motors run pretty strong. This is the first time I've heard of an issue with it. I say go for it and do a write up on it!

Main thing to worry about is rotation. I had a newer Kawasaki for a little while but don't remember which way it would spin. CW vs CCW.
