hey i got an old gator that has over 600 hrs on it and im tired of waiting for it to break down because im seriously doubting it ever will at this point. ive wanted to do an engine swap on it for ever and have been driving it hard to have an excuse to do it but it never did :( haha so the engine bay is looking like i have around 28" by 31" to work with. i was thinking maybe a small honda engine, vw bug engine or preferably an old volvo 240 turbo i4 engine. i know i will have to remove the fwd and it will only be rwd but i plan to race it for shits and giggles. has anybody attempted this and what are your guys opinions on doing this? any ideas or concerns? any input or advice would be awesome.

Conan welcome to the Forum and good luck with your conversion. I am sure in time someone will chime in as there are a couple of Gator owners that are big into the speed and racing. I am, but it's with my Impala SS.
