400ex will not work as you found out. You will need to make some spacers or buy them.Quote:

Bottom line is even when you get the suspension done you will still need to build the motor to keep up with the 2 smokes. If I was on a tight budget and just wanted to go race I would buy the new APEX they are about $2500 new!
So once you do a Diamond J kit and spend about 10hrs making it work correctly you still have a slow motor.
