Great upgrade kit, a few minor issues with instructions but install was a breeze. Definitely alot of power. Wish the carb choke was a pull to choke instead of push. Support was great with any questions i had. Thanks Ivan!

Tight fit in the un-lifted EZGO, and the instructions do not match the front mount bracket. Those need to be updated to show the correct bracket and rod end set up that is now in use. Also the exhaust pipe touches the drive belt, so heat wrap is necessary to keep from melting the belt. Again a lifted car would allow more room between the belt and the frame cross member by adding spacers to raise the engine. In this case the engine is already against the seat bottom.

I won't be able to install it until after the front suspension and frame stretch are done in the next couple of weeks... But based solely on how clean it is, I couldn't be happier with it!
John M.
Loved the final assembly but beware you might have to modify, had to remanufacture for engine cradle mount, order shorter drive belt and replace a defective starter solenoid , Real happy on performance.
Steve W.
I was very nervous to tackle this by myself, but was surprisingly easy! I love the power it has to climb hills with 4 adults on it. Just a little louder than I wanted but well worth the money!
Mark R.
My old engine was very weak climbing hills. Put this new engine in. Awsome. Works fantastic. I would highly recommend this kit and motor.
Its a fun and easy install.

Upgraded our 1997 EZ GO TXT. Installation pretty easy if you mechanically inclined. Very happy with its performance.

Received the 625 motor kit and have it installed, no problem. "FAST" shipping and well packed, no damage. EZ install, every thing fit well and the kit has everything needed. I did my own wiring it was very simple. The only thing I am not liking is the exhaust system. Very loud and the first time running it burned the plastic of the bag well, not angled down to ground well enough. I am now in the prosses of building header system with a different muffler. Oh it is fast even 20 something degree weather.

On time delivery, quality product. Most of the reviews I've seen are about installing the kit on lifted carts, but I will tell you with a little though on the front sub frame mount the kit fits great on a lowered cart. The front springs were flipped and 1" lowering blocks installed on the rear. There is 3/4 " clearance between the top of the engine and the bottom of the seat. Didn't care for the looks of the ignition switch wiring attached to the steering column so I pulled the switch panel from the dash, drilled the hole to match the new switch and installed it. There is plenty of wiring harness to reach the engine and makes for a clean installation. Can't beat the price, quality and delivery. Thanks! Moore Racing

Works good, fits good, lots of power.

Ivan did a wonderful job with everything related to this transaction and all questions were answered in a very professional manner.I have the engine installed and it sounds great.Vegas carts has everything to make this a simple and straight forward install.I can update after the project is completed,but so far I am very pleased.Gary.

I’m no mechanic but the conversion was better than I expected. Very pleased and surprised at the rocket power.
Paul N.
This upgrade is awesome!! The parts fit well and the online installation guide is pretty much spot on. I got the wiring harness and that made this a plug and play installation.
Great power, 36 MPH and pulls the 14” tires of the ground!! Nice!!!
Vernon Z.
.like the motor just took a long time to get it

Kit was relatively easy to install. Wife says cart is a little loud and vibrates a bit but what do you expect from a 23hp single cylinder engine!! I’ll probably look for and install some sort of muffler to tone it down a little sometime down the road. Only other issue I can think of is it’s a little hard to shift from reverse to forward or vice versa when engine is running. I’ve already lowered the idle speed (1050rpm) and checked belt tension as suggested. I’ll keep working the issue. Other than that, it’s definitely quick now and it does turn heads when we either pull up to or leave from a group of lake rats.

Awesome kit, transformed my cart to a beast
Kit W.
Worked fine although we should have purchased the wiring harness. would have saved a lot of time. Must say the supplied plastic key switch is a little cheesy but it worked. Another area of concern was that we couldn't find anything in wiring regarding how to wire the low oil shutdown sensor so in essence of time we didn't hook up. Maybe we can later. Motor is strong and fit like advertised. We use daily in a commercial cart at Steakhouse for trash disposal. apachepass.com

Has way more get up and go now and go's at about 28+mph (before only 21 max) which is fast enough on a golf buggy. Took a bit of adjusting to get the "ease into take off" back into the accelerator, it was way to sensitive, jerky. The exhaust system was the most difficult to tweak. The motor was way to loud for ease of speaking and listening to music, and not disturbing your r.v. park neighbors. The exhaust pipe was to close to the belt and kept burning it even with exhaust wrap. After a few different types of mufflers, I found an old motor cycle muffler and custom cut and bent exhaust pipe to get it away from the belt. Now we can talk to each other without screaming. I added a used boat motor fume compartment blower to get the heat away from everything including us (the heat from the motor was coming up through the gap at the seat handle and cooking us).
John M.
Been awesome great install kit. And tec support. Great power. Love it.
DAVID B.
This kits is well worth the $! Fit great and now my golf cart does wheelies! I actually like my golf cart now.
Tim R.
Outstanding product. Runs like a top. Install was straight forward
Larry C.
2001-2008 Gas ezgo txt with 2" lift, upgraded power is awesome with a trade off on gas pedal start/stop to ignition start and running noise. Had to make dent in muffler for clearance at shock and gas pedal is very sensitive. Motor install instruction guide is very helpful, I recommend printing it and take those pictures of the tear down, even experienced auto mechanic can get turned around in the tight working space!!. Did not get the wire harness and that would have made it a lot simpler, should be (***) as highly recommended with motor up grade. Ordered 5/09/2019 and it took till 5/27/2019 to get 2 trucks shipments and 1 package in mail, so the 5 day delivery didn't happen. So in all great product, still has a few minor hurdles, Will definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Workhorse 625 kit bolted up like a dream. Every part was included, everything had clearance and was quality. Power is perfect.
Christyne M.
Well it was a Hugh improvement the in power 625cc Big Block was a job for one person but got it done had to tweak it a little added some round rubber engine mounts i got a Napa to raise it up about 3/4 of a inch to get more clearance so I could move the engine back got a little smaller belt all because I wanted a certain way still have a little adjusting to do but it has the power and feel of a 4 wheeler if you have a stock golf cart I am sure it would be a lot easier but custom is custom do what you got to do. I had a couple of issues Vegas Carts got me through it they know their stuff thanks
Kyle S.
I bought this kit to convert a 36v electric cart to a gas cart.. and when I finally was able to start the engine for the first time boy was I impressed! Talk about an upgrade. I have a few stock gas carts at work and this baby will blow them out of the water! I did have to lower the idle speed of the engine a tad, but no real complaints.
Henry P.
This was easy install and the results are amazing
Irving G.
Everything bolted right up with out having to customize anything on my cart.. This truly is a bolt on kit.
Robert R.
Ezgo workhorse runs great with new engine
Bobby D.
I will start by saying the finished product is great! There where a few more modifications than I thought would be needed. My cart is a 2002 1200g lx workhorse. It’s an odd year. I had to make an extra bracket for the throttle cable to reach. I had to notch and move the center bar on the frame where the front engine cradle heim joint mounts. The exhaust is really close to the drive pulley even with the spacers installed. The twin shift cables hit the valve cover but they do function properly. I did order a Jake’s shifter to make it easier to shift. I have to put it in neutral to start because I have to give it gas. For the price it’s a complete kit and runs strong. If you don’t have any fabrication skills and you have the same model as I then you will have issues. I am very happy with it so far. Who doesn’t like a 40 mph cart.

One bad ass kit
Brian B.
My 625 big block really sends my EZGo golf cart. Took it to a tractor show and every on knew there was a monster under the seat by the way it sounded when we drove by . lots of thumbs up . It will definitely lift the front end off the loading ramp . . The directions are all there and easy to understand. .
the one problem I did have is the muffler had to be formed about one inch to keep it from rubbing on the shock. .. Over all a good choice.
Wayne B.
Excellent product an very simple installation also
Brandon R.
Install was easy only wished that it came with a pre wired wiring harness. Wiring was no problem for me but I can see where some people have had an issue with it. Overall it's a good product and have already recommended it to others.
Darius W.
Power
Engine has more power than expected. Only complaint is that engine has to be started like a car. On the golf course it means constantly starting the motor. Wish it operated like the original motor by stepping on the accelerator
WIlliam T.
Big block kit
Great kit ,great service, great support
Lydia R.
Great upgrade
A little more course than the smoothness of the stock engine, but a whole new animal. Ours is a lifted workhorse on big tires. It went from barely making it up the hills with a load of fire wood, to effortlessness. Way faster, awesome. Install was easy. Running and driving saturday morning with old engine to booze cruise with new engine Saturday afternoon.
David W.
Awesome
Installation was straight forward with easy to follow instructions. Fired right and man o man the power is awesome!
David C.
Love it
Easy to install, more then enough power for my 6 passenger golf cart on 25"tires

Big block install
Customer service- AWESOME
Install of big block kit - AWESOME
Performance of engine - Holy S**t!
Any problems were promptly handled, (nothing major) and the looks I get when that big block starts up is nothing but envy.
Directions are crystal clear and easy to follow.
I really can't be anything but positive about this purchase.
My son and I installed this kit as a "buddy" project (he is 10 yrs old).
Good 'ol fashioned bonding time between father and son!
Roger A.
Excellent support and product
Easy install as very good instructions that were well thought out. Everything fit as it should. Did have some carb issues, but staff (Geoff) extremely helpful and made it all good.
Strongly recommend these guys!
Floyd D.
Engine Upgrade Kit
Very pleased ....From the initial phone call for information/pricing/ordering til the cart was running. (All smiles and "WTF" giggles from the neighbors)
All parts were delivered before expected and the installation went as described in the product advertisement.
My opinion..... it is a very fair value for all that is included in the kit plus the technical support.
I will use the product again on another worn out cart that I have and would recommend it as an option to anyone before retiring the carts.
The shipping staff should be given some credit... there are a lot of small parts that shipped neatly and very well organized.
Charles T.
625 big block
Very happy with engine so far except the oil dip stick is not real user friendly, but engine runs great. Aron was very helpful as well.
Todd M.
Easy to install.... mostly.
My son and I had this installed in a day, we did the tear down earlier. For the most part this is a drop in and bolt on. The header/muffler was the most difficult, like a puzzle. Some of the wires you have to tie into are nearly impossible to reach and if I knew that, I would have extended them before I dropped the beast in.
Runs great, sounds good but I may be looking for a new muffler to quiet it down a bit.
Sean
Awesome service
From the start such a quick and easy just picked up the phone told Aaron what I was looking for and he explained the pros and cons between my 2 choices called him back 15 mins later and left him a message. He called me back within 20 mins and processed my order. He told me it would be a week or so before we got the motor which confused me when I got an email the next day saying it was already picked up and heading my way. I ordered it on a Tuesday afternoon I got it Thursday afternoon. Totally blew my mind on how fast they got it to me considering I didnt pay anything extra for faster shipping. Everything went together and fit like a glove I found 1 thing hard but a simple phone call back to Aaron got that out of the way in 5 mins. Got the motor in and it started right up I thought there would be a lot of fine tuning but there wasnt other than adjusting the idle which after it was warmed up took 2 minutes. I would definitely recommend anyone to do business with Vegas carts no question

Customer review
got engine kit in and redid wireing the cart runs really great. grandsons love the way it runs now. just need parts to fix other motor and get it in the other cart. again sorry about the other review.
John J.
Couldn't be Happier!!
Easy purchase, fast shipping, great technical support via photos and detailed instructions. This has been my first time installing any engine, and I couldn't be happier. finished install 3/28/2018 and engine fired right up.
Jonathan S.
Buy a swap now!!!
This team is great, I can't say enough good about them. Geoff has answered all my questions and given me lots of insight for the swap and future upgrades. I'll definitely be buying another swap from them soon.
Richard B.
Very nice kit for the money!
Without the updated Big Block instructions there were a few questions but overall very easy to install and works great. Thanks,
William S.
Very Happy
The kit was easy to put in. Wish that the other end of the electrical connections would have come with the kit. Runs great, would like to have a RPM range,for tire sizes. Cart runs 25mph with windshield. Tips on tuning engine would be nice.
David S.
Very good upgrade
The torque is impressive, but the engine took a good bit longer to install than my 460 conversion last summer on my other cart. Please consider making a 6 1/2' extension for the wiring harness to make it easier to install the switch in the dash area.
Jeffrey S.
Excellent Service
My recent order for an upgrade kit was processed in a timely manner. A slight shipping issue, no fault of Vegas Carts, was resolved quickly. The kit contents were as described and were installed as described. So far the kit and engine are performing as I expected. Very pleased!
