banshee engine in yfz roller

[too_fazt]

I was searching craiglist the other day and saw one of these combos. I personally love the banshee engine and its ease towards modifying/rebuilding. but the looks and ergonomics of a yfz are killer. have anyone ever done this? is it fab work intensive? what do you think the weight savings are...must be alot getting rid of that big old 4stroker!

 

Thanks

The Banshee engine is probably heavier... What you are gaining is a light, nible, modern-handling chassis with the Banshee scream and turbo-like power... That would be the allure for me, anyway... I think its a great idea if you want something different...

Got to be easier than crotch rocket in Banshee (DUMB). Just get motor set side to side for sprocket and as close to same relative posistion as yfz. fab mounts and weld. Other than only roller I've seen they wanted like $2000.

i am working on one as we speak i was going to do one for trail riding but since i got this outlaw chassis the one i have now is going towards dune dragging.

 

after looking at the frame closer and building a "mock" motor out of a bunch of junk parts i'm going to lower the engine down in the chassis as far as i can, and cut the front tubes out that held the oil tank in and use that area to make the motor mounts. i'm going to use stellar motor mounts on it. when i get around to really get into this project i'll take a bunch of pics and show how i did it. the banshee motor fits really nicely its the pipes thats an issue. BUT i'g going to be using outframe pipes. i'm also thinking of modding the outlaw chassis to use yfz seat and plastics.

hell yea, i wonder if cutting out the motor mounts in the front as well as that support bar will a pair of inframes fit in....yea take a few pictures id like to see the build.

i know droping the motor down in the frame made it have all kinds of clearance on the top of the engine plugs were a breeze. i'll mount all the electrics to the underside of the tank on an alluminum plate. might remake the subframe to just have bare tubes with no holes or mounts. a friend of mine said we should just shave the alluminum sub down fill in all the holes and polish the whole stinker.. saawwweeett..

 

as soon as start on it i'll get them posted here!!
