Default Banshee 4-stroke

How hard would it be to put a 4-stroke motor in a banshee frame? Is it even worth tryin? cause i want to start racing mx and i have found an older banshee for cheap...but i would rather have a 4-stroke for racing purposes. so any comments will help..

I think you might run into chassis strength issues

not the best frame for mx, to start with. then to put a 4 stroke in is kind of like cussing in church.

Banshee's have never been known for a great MX quad.
Maybe a 400ex, z, of somthing might be better for you to start MX on.

you would be better off gettin a 400ex for cheap and modifying it. banshees don't have great suspension and the frames aren't that strong.
