i have a older racing gokart frame i am going to mount a harborfreight 13hp 420cc electric start engine 1" shaft. i am more interested in hill climbing then top speed and am using 20" tires for the rear. is there a big difference between a torque converter and a clutch. is there a torque converter that will bolt right up to the engine and if yes can you give me the model number. a clutch would be so much more easier to bolt up however i am guessing it does not perform as good as a torque converter. i would appreciate any suggestions and please give spicific model numbers if you can as i am fairly new to this. thanks.
