trx 450r motor in a blaster?

[NOVIS]

dont do the swap if you have the full 450r. thats just rediculous. the 450r is better quad in every way.

other than looks, the 450r looks pretty ugly. it would be a cool swap, but not worth all the time. to make the blaster good with the 450, you would need to spend some money on a great suspension setup.

good luck with it, hope you have some money and lots of time because it aint going to be cheap or easy to do.

The best thing to have when doing a project is something else to ride. The last thing you want to do is have two broken down quads and be in a rush to finish one to go riding. Keep the 450 as a daily rider. If you are looking for a project then start with a late 1970s or 80s bike engine. Parts are easy to find on ebay. I have worked with a lot of 1970s/80s yamaha street bikes so I made a short list of cheap motors that could work well:

SR250 Small 250CC single cylinder street bike.
XS400 Uses points ignition on 1979 and older.
XJ400 Full re-work of the xs400 motor. DOHC.
XS650 VERY TALL. You will see a lot of hill climb bikes with this motor.
XJ550 Very slim 4cylinder. See my profile.


I'm not a big fan of mixing brands when it comes to motors and frames.. but a swap I would like to try is a VF750F
