I am a little disappointed. When I received the motor the oil filter was slightly crushed. However the box did not show any signs of being dropped or crushed in the area of the filter. The second issue I had was the relocating of the solenoid, it still would hit on the axle and the wires to it were taught. I modified the bracket and made it work. The latest issue is with the wiring harness I purchased from Vegas Carts for the engine kit I purchased. You will see in the photo how the wires were connected to the key switch. Yellow to red, white to yellow, and red to white. I would think anyone could connect the same color wires together. Outside of these issues, I think this is a very good kit. Still putting it together, this is a ground up build.

Lots of torque, pulls the front wheels, my brother ordered 1 the next week.

The kit is almost a drop in, I had to cut, drill, and modify more than a true drop in kit would call for. It all seems to function well and I’m pleased with the end result, although it’s very chineezy and it took some doing to dial the carburetor in and keep it from over flowing. The muffler fell off twice before I was able to get better hardware for it. I had to shave some off the frame for it to clear the muffler nothing structurally damaging. For the belt to line up 100% it would require more cutting of the frame so I met it in the middle, the muffler is off the shaved frame and the belt is slightly misaligned, I’m hoping it doesn’t cause premature belt wearing.shipping was great and spot on. Overall it is what it is and I’m pleased with the end result, but if I had it to do over I would source a Japanese ATV motor or small Japanese motorcycle engine to do the conversion with

Customer service was great! Prompt and courteous. One part was damaged during shipment so I made a phone call and received a new one within the week. Everything works great and does what it should do. I will use them again and recommend them in the future!

Easy install and runs great

Bought the big block engine and kit for a 1992 ds clubcar. The engine and rest of kit fit like it was oem built.. The only thing you have to watch is that the throttle cable doesn't rest on exhaust pipe, it will melt cable. I made a bracket to keep cable from pipe. My cart does 40 mph with 22 inch tires according to my GPS app. On my phone. Well worth the money....

I wanted to replace my old engine because I wanted more power. Be careful what you ask for. This thing is a beast. I never dreamed it would pull like this. Hills are no match even being fully loaded. I had already replaced the rear gear so I was fast enough. They claim with bigger tires you may gain some speed. This thing is scary fast now. Its nice to just cruise instead of having to keep full throttle. If you want power and speed, buy this package. The only downside is the instructions. These could be improved with better and more detailed pictures.

Installation of the engine was easy. The worst part of the job was removing the rear clutch hub off the gear box. It would have been helpful if V.C. could have provided a schematic for the 625 engine and where to put the pulse hose for the fuel pump. Also, they could have designed some sort of throttle system to totally eliminate the box. Plus, the muffler system could have been better thought out. Other than that, the power is amazingly awesome.

Kit was for my 87 club car and with 2 modifications works great. Faster than any other cart around. Will send a video after I build an exhaust system.

Bought the big block kit for my 91 clubcar , very straight forward install. Everything fit nice. Only thing I would change is how throttle cable and exhaust bracket is set up, I melted my new throttle cable shearing on exhaust pipe, ordered new cable and making a bracket to keep cable from exhaust pipe. Great running engine, lots of torque.

Kit is very easy to install. Still having issues getting it to idle right. And it is annoyingly loud so need to put a different muffler on. Should be included in th he kit. But hold on when you open it up. So much better then stock.

I installed the 625 engine in my 96 Club Car by myself start to finish with minimal hiccups. I would recommend buying the wiring harness as it is so much easier than trying to adapt the original wiring ( my suggestion is to make it part of the kit) other than that getting the fuel flow straightened out has been a challenge. I think my fuel pump my be malfunctioning but I’m still working with it. With that being said my cart is stupid fast!!
Darlene L.
Love it. It won't go in gear unless I shut it down and start it up in gear. Gas is leaking out the back of the carb. Otherwise it's like a four wheeler.

This company and product are great! The power is unbelievable and it turns your golf cart into a powerhouse of fun. I ran into issues during the install, but all diagrams and information to resolve it are on their website. I even had a cracked valve cover I didn't notice until after installed and they promptly sent me a new one at no charge. I would definitely buy another kit from them and will refer all family and friends to them when they want to keep up with me. Thanks Vegas Carts for the amazing products, great service and awesome power that puts a huge smile on my kids face.

Great Kit
The kit that Vegas Carts has put together is great. All quality components, that fit together as they should. All the required hardware is included and the instructions are very easy to follow. Some minor modifications were required, but that is to be expected with any aftermarket kit being used.

Install was pretty straight forward, few issuses, but the staff at Vegas Carts got them taken care of.

Kit is great! Everything we expected!
We are very satisfied with the purchase. Lots of tourqe. Cart will push race cars go through ditches up hills and pop wheelies!

Awesome engine replacement
Easy to install engine upgrade. Good power and easy to operate. Personally I wish it was a little quieter. But it runs and operates perfectly. Took me a little while to figure out the wiring. But I’m sure now that I have done one I could do the whole install in 4hours. Definitely a big improvement over the stock engine. The tech support was awesome! Thanks Dan

price drop after order
Golf cart went from 14 mph to 36 mph in about 5 hours.
I would be more stoked if I didn't see the price drop by $200 on my engine upgrade a few weeks after I ordered it. Would have been 5 stars.

installation
The installation of this in a stock 1989 Club Car DS was so easy....I actually made it harder. Quick phone call & realized I did not even need to go where I had gone (electrical work). This company is a real pleasure to work with.

works great!
Works great minor mods to make everything work but thats what happens when you are modifying something that is 20 to 30 years old.

625 cc 1990 club car
This motor is awesome! Tires come off the ground from the torque. Charging system doesn’t work as the stator has a dead short but I’m told another one is being sent. Happy with power of engine and easy install. If you have a 6 in lift kit you have to modify header. NO Instructions but if your not an idiot it’s self explanatory

Great people !
I called and they took the time to talk to me before the order and was a breeze to install, I had to call tech support once and they had the answer I needed ! Quality kit with everything you need now just for the weather to break so we can enjoy this at the car shows

Great Kit
Installation wasn't bad at all and didn't take as long as I had expected. Taking my time, removed old wire harness and ran all new, took about 9 hours for the swap. Clutch alignment has required a couple tweaks of the engine position but it's a simple 4 bolt adjustment. Had a couple of questions which were answered quickly. Extremely happy with the end result. Massive torque and significant speed improvement (27 with the rev limiter still connected on 22" tires and my belt could be set tighter to get more speed). I installed a Walker 22266 muffler between the engine and the provided muffler which yielded a significant improvement (over 50% reduction in sound). The intake is now louder than the exhaust at idle and while cruising.

Installation instructions
Motor is great. There were no installation instructions for the 625 so I had to go off the 480 instructions online. I had to call the company for some help and explanations were clear and helpful. I would have given this product 5 plus stars had there been clear instructions for the 625 that came with the motor or that could be printed online. Customer service was awesome and it’s a great product.

This new motor kicks ass ! The install was super easy and it didn't take long at all. I am so glad that I waited for the 625.
