If you go with a GO-4 motor and tranny      you lose all your bed space not to mention they are hard to come      by and will cost you just as much as a running GO-4.  My swap idea      is a VW bug motor.  I'm pretty sure that with a dog house cooler      on it it would still fit under the seat and you could adapt a      shaft to fit the cushman tranny although you may have to have it      geared higher for more speed.  As far as adding 700 to 900 pounds,      not sure anything is going to handle that very well.

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​​
