We use to blow his motor up all the time and then we would just get a new piston and pull it apart and have it going again in about an hour. Getting to my question though, I have a chance to buy an older EZ-GO and was wondering if the stock rear end would hold up or would I be better off to do what you did and build a whole new cradle?
And I will say it again, Awsome Build!

Thanks!!!! I dont think you have to build a new cradle, Richie
just added a couple of inches to his stock one I just did it because
I have tubing bender and I didnt want to cut and grind,if your
cart is a two smoker you wont have reverse because those
carts startup backwards to go backwards the four stroke EZGO
rearends seem really tough so thats what I would use!!!
Good Luck on your build and as always post lots of pics
us old foockers like lots of pics!!!!

Do you have any detailed pictures of how you attached your subframe to your cart? I'm in the process of a big block conversion on mine

Exotic, there are many threads showing the ways different people have attached both stock swing arms and modified ones.

The way I like best is using a heim joint in the center which helps with more articulation.

I actually dropped my swing arm and moved it back. I mounted mine back much like stock using a dual point attachment.

Here's one has anyone ever converted an electric axle to accept a secondary clutch like a gasser? 900$ for a gasser axle is way to expensive for my build!

[smokindawg]

There have been a few that attached a sprocket for a chain drive to the electric axle, but I've not seen anyone convert one so that it could use a secondary clutch.
