This is posted in the wrong section, this is the "Clones" section.

I'll answer, the Vtwin engines are usually too tall to fit in non lifted carts. Just not enough room under there unless you: 1. lift the cart which drops the swing arm down, or 2. drop the engine cradle down by cutting and welding.

That doesn't mean it can't be done, it just means you're going to need to do some fabrication work. It's kinda like putting a 460 in a Ford Ranger.

Check with Bruce at CPP, http://www.cartpartsplus.com/ I'm pretty sure the 18 hp vanguard will fit but very tight.

I stand corrected. Never done it, just thought Vtwins were too tall.

Another question arises here. Isn't a harbor freight 670 cc Vtwin a clone ?
