Default Re: Planning Engine Swap

I think I'm to the point when I'm going to run a temp line to the fuel pump (with a fuel filter) try to start the engine

Then, if it runs and sounds OK, teardown and removal of the old engine can begin

It starts and runs, so I need to figure out the choke bracket / spring and the throttle bracket / spring


It's loud at idle, with zero exhaust

Any tips or tricks?

Are aftermarket headers the only option or will 0ne of the stock Briggs exhaust manifolds fit and work?

Two options have a starter side exit and two have an oil filter side exit (I believe this will be the option I need)

691499: starter side exit
691501: oil filter side exit
691502: starter side exit
805609: oil filter side exit
692061: oil filter side exit

Need to figure out if I need to/want run a stock exhaust manifold or an aftermarket headers?

Headers I have found:

https://vegascarts.com/products/23hp...f18ce5ec&_ss=r

Not sure the 23hp Briggs has the same exhaust port spacing/size?

https://www.robertsonstorquetubes.com/golfcarts

Anyone else know of a premade header kit and if they are even worth it? Stock Briggs exhaust manifolds are $100 on Ebay

The spacing is different on the 18 and 23. VC used to sell the header unwelded so user could adjust spacing. CPP has a header also not sure if it can be bought alone.
