ok guys what do i have do get a 1987 trinity lt500 motor in an 1987 lt250 frame? are they all they are made up to be cuz my lt250 already screams

 

whatever ya do...make sure ya got brakes!!!!!!!!

 

my buddy had his banshee motor done by trinity and it was very impressive

 

question is how different are the frames? 87 lt250 compared to 1987 lt500

 

I have never done it myself but I have seen completed change-overs. It looks like they just make new engine mounting brackets. I would measeur the swing arm/rear engine mount to see if the 250 and 500 cases are the same size. New brackets are no big deal.

 

good deal hope the guy selling it can measure im a carpenter i know i can lol

 

It might be worth the $11 bucks to sign up over at macdizzy. There is a thread over there about the 250/500 hybrids. Also I believe DR Q, the resident LT expert is trying to get some people together to have a few pipes made for these hybrids.

 

i have a honda cr500 motor in my lt250 frame and from what I can see (i didnt do the work bought it this way) looks like just new mounts then they putt gussets and things to make the frame stiffer also

 

Hey Tom,

Had the Doc posted any new info since the site became pay only? Sure miss the site.... Too bad Rick didn't get sponsors vs charging for something that should have been free.

Sounds like the site has really slowed down to a crawl... if that.

Just curious.

 

My brother has an LT250 and I have a 500. I can tell you that there is a lot of difference in the size of the frames. The 250 is a lot like the 500 just on smaller scale. It can probably be done but seems like a lot of work, dont know if it would be that much benefit. Just my opinion.
