???? what would be a good 4x4 atv to preform such a transplant on???an wht type of trans??? belt drive cvt or or older clutch style manual of some sort??? all time 4x4 or a in an out type?? any ideas yall??

 

I think if I was going to try to fit a diesel in a quad I'd go with one of the big bores and maybe even one of the 2-up machines. The Polaris Sportsman X2 has a really strong suspension in the rear. I think if the CVT can take the abuse of a 4 cycle big bore engine it should take the diesel output. Just my own thoughts. Diesel power comes on in low rpms so I'd get a clutch that engages pretty low. Not sure what's out there. I'm reaching the limits of my knowledge here.
