Ok so i have told this to some buddys and they say im crazy but i think it can be done. Ok so i have my 01 TB and it goes very well for the few mods i have on it. So the other day i was wondering around the local junkyard and found a 86 or 87 honda rebal 440...so i hotwired it and drove up and asked how much they wanted 4 it..and im best friends with the owners grandson the anwser was "take it"...so i have been thinkin bout pulling the motor out of my TB and replacing it with the 440 motor?....i have a welder and i am pretty crafty so what you people think go 4 it or your crazy? If anybody has done somthing similer give me any hints and tips.

Thanks

why ruin a nice 01 motor...get a crappy frame and if u have faith in the engine build a polaris/honda 250r frame liek theones on hpd

 

I just need a project and have an extra motor that is very very snappy and will do 95 so y not make a super cool sleeper

 

I would not do it for a few reasons .

If you want to do something like that find a rolling chassis with a trashed engine . Once you do this to your machine the resale value is nil . A 2001 blazer is worth $1500 plus - doing this conversion will ruin any value of the quad .

Keep in mind that of the MANY engine swaps I have seen done 1 in 10 are worth a damn after they are done . The transmission spacing between gears may really make the quad worthless to operate as well .

I would highly advise against it .

well the god has spoken...if rick says no i say no....but now heres the qustion...anybody got a rolling chassis 4 cheap?

 

Go for it. What have you got to lose?

 

will the frame hold the extra weight or will it tear it up under the etra weight and power. think of that when your doing better then 80 mph and it comes all aprt on ya.
