Swap question

[lilblasty]

Since my housing broke a little I have a older yz 465 motor sitting in the garage. I'm thinking of dropping it in the blaster

 

[blasterdude14]

if you can do the modifications do it

And if you can get an exhaust that will work.

It is a great running motor. Wonder how much mods I will be doin

We did the measurements and all today. So far this is what we are going to have to do.

- Make new front brackets

- Make back brackets

- Make a bracket for the swingarm attachment

- put weights on the front to hold the front on the ground.

We are still looking at if it would actually work without stretching the frame

Prolly find lotsa info around here to help ya.
Member "Beaster_blaster" did a 465it. Doesn't look like he stretched the frame or cut the down tubes in front of the motor. Haven't hear from him in a bit, hope all is well.
