I rolled my truck and my 300EX was in the back. The truck landed on my quad and cracked the block. I have thought about swapping in a 350x engine but didnt know how much trouble it would be. I was just wanting some opinions on what u would do.:(

i heard it was easy just need the mounts and an exhaust, then cut the back part on the motor where the mounts go (not sure how much to cut it 1 1/2"?) people on the site have done this conversion before search for it!

I've been thinking of doing the same conversion. All the research I've done says it's relatively easy.

i have a lot of info on it and have wanted to do it for about a year now but i cant find a 350x that is cheap but not a pos and my parents say whats wrong with the engine in it now(they wouldnt let me buy anything off ebay anymore) but here is a link for how to do it http://users.nlamerica.com/dixiebai/atv/html/250x2.html
if u go to the bottom of this link it will have a thing to click on for the 350xr or rx it is a sweet conversion (its the frame of a 250r and the 350x engine i believe
