350x or 350ex or 400

[Tri-valleyracin]

well this past weekend i was racing my stock motor 300ex and i did good in the mud (3rd place, open c). i have a 86 quadracer but im most likly goin to sell it. i like my 300ex alot but it dosnt have the power i want. if i sell the quadracer i will have the $ from it to do with it want i want. im not shure to put a down payment on a new quad or put it in my 300ex. i like the 350x motor convertions but i think it would be esayer to build up the ex motor. or should i buy a new quad. i have put alot of $ in my 300ex and it has all suspension that i need for racing if i buy a 400ex or a z400 or maybe a 450 im goin to be starting from stock. im not to shure what to do.

Sell the quadracer and the 300ex and buy a fully tricked out used 400ex w/ cash to spare. ;)

[Tri-valleyracin]

if i sell my 300ex i will have to pay off the amount left on it from when it was financed. thats y im considering diffent options. if i didnt owe anything on it i would sell it and get a 400ex or 450r.

how much do you want for the quadracer? and whats done to it?

You can make a 300 run pretty good with only a small investment.A $200 330 kit,a cam and a good exhaust and 400ex or a fcr carb if you can find one cheap will probably give you an extra 10hp or so for only a few hundred dollars.Theres even more potential with some headwork but its not mandatory right away regardless of what you read.;) A rev box will help if your a screamer,i have my rev limiter removed completely but i dont use much rpm anyway;)

I think Im goin to put a 350x motor in it and have extra cash to put in to the motor.

I agree with bwamos, and use the cash to spare and put it to your 300ex payments.

see my thread in the "powertrain" section.;)

I'd build the 300 if it was me...

Who wants to go back to kickstarting their quad?..LOL.

[Tri-valleyracin]

i truly dont care i have to kick start my quad or not. i rather kick it and now its goin to start and in stead of having the extra whieght of a battery and starter motor.

[2muchquad]

I used to say the same thing,now my right calf is bigger than my left from all the years of kicking bikes etc.Im serious,i like having that e button.:)

[Tri-valleyracin]

with the 350x motor can i use a 400ex head pipe and clear the down tube of the frame. i will get a full 400ex pipe if i can i know some aftermarket ones are close to the motor and they wont work.

[bwamos]

Nope.. too close. Have to extend the header, and dent the pipe where the kickstart goes.

You could just get the Powroll header, and put an HMF Slipon on it.

[Tri-valleyracin]

i have a pro circuit t4 slip on will that work. im considering building something differnt now but im still tinking the 300ex is my best bet.

[Xeller8]

I think so too.....good choice!:cool:
