I don't even think i would do that
East west, chain from flywheel to sprocket on live rear axle.
Life insurance.
I'd mimic the Nelsons' DSM, though there's no need for either the turbos or more stout transmission when the drivetrain weighs more than the rest of the cart.
You might need to start with one of those 6-seater models first. Get a little room in the system
I've thought long and hard about a golf cart powered by a 4-wheeler system. One day.
I've tried driving a bar stool with a go-kart engine.
There's a whole universe of too-much-engine-for-the-chassis that's less fun than it sounds like.

At that point, it's a Miata.

With a hilariously short wheelbase and even worse aero.
Take a complete mid 2000s Impala SS front suspension and engine cradle, use it to replace the entire back half of the golf cart.
Eldorado TH425 transmission, adaptor. Short, solid axles on leaf springs.
My buddy has an electric golf cart with an upgraded motor, controller, gears etc. It goes 45mph. Keep in mind a stock golf cart goes 13mph.
He said it is pretty much terrifying above 35. I can only image that a ls powered one would be far far scarier.
Nope...
Yeah... I've been about 30 in a golf cart (thank you, Road Atlanta hill). No thanks!!!

I wouldn't ever want to go fast enough in a golf cart that aero becomes an issue.
Even on batteries those old clubcars can be scary. Wet noodle frames and brakes that are... technically there.
And bushings that crumble like old cheese.
I would watch someone build one, but only over the Internet.
Primary and 6 speed from a HD. Belt to the rear axle.
What could possibly go wrong.

If a Hayabusa engine makes it do wheelies, an ls might make it do flips

The only thing that will save you is if the tires do not have enough traction. Then it is just a skid car and you get to live. If it hooks, you will know what the life of a flyswatter is like.
