18 hp briggs opposed twin

[phoneman702]

i have a 1998 cc gas with 6" lift, and also have a 18 hp briggs opposed twin motor laying around. anybody put one of these in a club car? will it fit? will i have to change clutches? just looking for a new project, i will have to hide it from the wife

shes already mad about the lift.

thanks,
jason

It can be wedged in, but a v twin would be easier and more reliable. The apposed twins aren't good for very many rpms. Your current clutch is designed for a tapered crank. What size/type crank is on the twin?

 

[phoneman702]

it does not currently have a tapered crank, but i do have one for it. it looks like it would be a very tight fit.

It will be a tight fit and it will rattle yer teeth at idle.

 

[phoneman702]

guess i better just put the twin on the 8kw generator i had planned it for

 

[dirtysouth]

This is just my oppinion... It could be an awesome build.
