Yeah, it just wouldn't make much sense to spend that much time and money to drop the 450 engine into the 350, because even though you'd be as light as a yfz and have just as much power, your suspension wouldn't be up to the task. If you're willing to spend the time and money to drop a different engine into your quad, go all the way and put a sportbike engine in to make it a real animal. The local powersports shop here is selling a 600cc kawasaki engine with very low miles for $550, and every time I look at the thing I just giggle because I know that someday somebody will drop it into a quad and make a real badass machine. If I already had a rolling chassis i'd probably already have bought it, just so I could have a project to work on in my spare time, and get some practice with welding and fabrication.
