It can be done but will take a good amount of work, and will still cost ya a good amount, not as much as an entirely new ATV but I mean, you ARE buying the engine, which is one of the most expensive parts. You will need a new mount for sure, and a whole list of other things, but I would say if you really want a bigger engine, then go for it, much better than spending 7 grand for a new one

FInd a 350X and do that swap. that would probably be a cheaper route than a 400EX or 450R. you can buy the wiseco piston kits and it comes with the topend gasket set pretty reasonable. You can also buy the 330 kit with the gaskets for under 300 bucks and that comes with a new cylinder. the chain and guides aren't that expensive either. I'd say for under 500 bucks you could have a great running engine. a good running 400EX engine will top a grand.

+1!

Do it and you'll never look back! It was one of my all time favorite motor swaps and I've done a bunch!
