Hey guys, I am going to repower EZ Go when I get back and would like some advice. I currently have 2 3.8l V6 Crusaders and Velvet Drive 71C with a 2.59:1 gear reduction. :smt101 These are the original motors and they are ready to retire. I am thinking that I would replace the motors with drop in 4.3's and use the same trans. If I use a 4bbl setup I would have a pair of 210hp instead of the very tired 165's in there now.
Plan B, is a pair of 5.7's at 260-300hp but I don't know if the 71C will handle a 5.7 and I think that gear reduction would be a little much. I know some of you have this hull and 350's. What is your experience with power and fuel consumption?
Even if you don't have this hull what do you think?
I like the way these 3.8's sip on fuel even at a hull blistering 15 knots.:smt043
Thanks in advance
