That is quite an undertaking. I'm not sure if the engine you have is equiped with a ring gear(some engines came with them with or without electric start), but if not then you need a flywheel with ring gear,proper starter, a coil backing plate set up with charging coils and the rest of the electricals, wiring harness or at the least a wiring diagram, of course a battery and a spot to install it, new ignition switch........ which you may already know this and asking a simple question that I do not know the answer to. You might be better to find an engine or wrecked sled already set up for that and transfer the parts.

After thinking about this for some time, ive decided to just do an r6 swap on my 82 oddyssey fl250. Theres alot of benefits to doing the swap.

You want to put a R6 engine in a FL250 Odyssey? Are you going to add rear suspension?

Im considering it...lol. makes for a rough ride if i dont. Sedona rebel 25" tires on the rear, springs and rubber bushings to the seat,should take some of the roughness outa the ride for now. Eventually ill put a swivel hinge and shocks between the rear of the frame and the roll cage for suspension. Where its ridden for now is relatively flat, so itll work til i get time to redo the rearend.

Im curious how it handles with that much power.. Ive built a few highly modded Odysseys in my day.. they became evil handling machines with more power..(highly modded 250's) but we rode them in the dunes..

I would love to see pics of the finished machine.
