of coarse i'm seeing alot of threads here for the 1st time......
hopefully this isnt too late in the build to take into consideration but i was toying w/ the idea of using a polaris 250 in the crossfire because i had one sitting here. i asked rick ritter about the idea at RCR. ritter is where i get all my polaris rebuild stuff from and is renowned in the 2 stroke polaris world. a bunch of us who have done the 400 swaps use him as a valuable resource to get the most out of our 400s. i have developed a working relationship w/ the man, and he is familiar w/ the buggy/polaris swaps and loves the idea.i asked him about the notion of using the 250 in a buggy. he told me the air cooled 250's tend to run hot out of the box in the quad where it's pretty much in the open. he didnt think the engine would hold up well being behind a seat. i asked him because i really wanted to spend the money on the rebuild and use it, and he kind of talked me out of spending the money......money i would have spent w/ him.
like i said just a heads up.
