[Silly Little Cars] Truckster Re-Power

[Flinters Roo via Silly_little_cars]

Is it possible?  Sure!

Is it feasible?  Lots of custom work, always in a halfway reliable
condition and the chassis would need significant modification.  You'll lose
capacity by increase drive train weight, so no real benefit, but still
doable.  the GO-4 is wider than the Cushman, so you'll need to widen the
body as well.

Is it affordable?  Figure you'll be spending $2-3k ob the low end for the
GO-4 drive train as they are very much in demand and expensive.  when
you're done the completed vehicle will be the value of the drive train
only.  Anyone that bought the vehicle later would be doing so for the drive
train only and scrap the Cushman.

Harsh words, but reality.

I have both, and you'd be far better off spending  $3-5k on a GO-4 in
decent condition.

Hello All,
  I have two Cushman Trucksters '68 & '69 that are in need of a re-power so
they can be driven 5-10 miles a day 3-4 days a week. I have registered them
and they are street legal but only go 25mph. Also I will be increasing the
weight of the vehicle by 700-900 lbs.

1. Has anyone swapped a Go-4 Motor and Trans into their truckster?
2. Where can I find a new or used Go-4 motor and trans (45mph desired)
3. Are to go 4 trans capable of hauling heavy loads?
4. Any other swap ideas

Thank you all for your time and knowledge

Dave​​
