Hi,  
I’m a new to the forum and just bought a 2002 Gem a few months back and wanted to upgrade to a larger motor. Does anyone have any recommendations on where or who I can buy a motor from? I’ve already tried calling/texting and emailing Marlon at MZ Motorsports, but never heard anything back.

Ride Four Fun Their motor fits in the space with no suspension modifications,

You will have to add a disc brake kit from Nevs Accesories The stock GEM brakes aren’t good enough for high performance use.
