the rz350 engine is basically the same engine as the banshee so i was wondering could i put it in the 1988 warrior frame without ripping it up to bad? Would it fit at all? would the pipes have room? would it fatigue the frame to much? would there be room for the carbs and filters what about the chain and sprockets would it be hard to line them up? the rz350 had power valves and put out roughly 55hp stock would it cause a rough ride? i would like advice on this motor or any other motor that could be put in easyly other that the stock warrior's motor thanks very much

I would say just add some strenth to the swing arm bolt ups. Other wise the arrior frame is very heavy duty....

most people doing this mod have done it in a banshee, and just switched the motors over. It's a direct bolt to a shee, but you MUST have the rz wiring and cdi module.

I don't know about putting it in a warrior, but I see some advantages. The warrior is 12v system already as is the RZ.

I wonder about the engine mounts, but it wouldn't be hard to weld in new mounts.

You'd have to fab some customs pipe mounts.. The pipes for a banshee aren't the same, the mounts won't line up.. and the ones off the RZ won't fit in the frame..
