I've got a first gen, first year mule. Never let me down once in 15 years and its not even a 4x4 because that wasn't available the first year they were released. I love Kawasaki, especially their old stuff. I hope this build is a success. I'm a new sub and look forward to the end result.

Thanks for the link to the Duromax. Unfortunately, my Mule is a 620, and the torque converter is on the opposite side. As a result, the head is up against the transmission. I am having a heck of a time trying to get that engine to fit. I will probably need to lift the engine to have enough clearance. I am sure it will turn out good, but boy is it a challenge right now. Wish mine fit as easily as yours did. I am using a bilge blower to move air over the torque converter, and because of the clearance issues, I had to get a longer belt. I will let you know if I ever succeed.

I would save that head and put it on something turning 9k. It makes no sense to put a ported head on a engine your wanting low rpm torque from because you going to lose low end torque for sure. That is not what ported heads are for. When you port a head your more or less moving your power range up in the rpm.

@davidowens6775 5 жыл бұрын
if its the ct200u or ct200u-ex the parts and upgrades are almost endless. Watch RBG's walk thru's on each of the four stages. It'll take the stock 6.5hp and bump it up to around 22hp if I remember his estimate correctly. If its the smaller coleman ct100u then it has the 3hp smaller engine and can still be upgraded, just not as much. At least that's been my experience, just harder to find the right size mods.
