The warrior motor is a gutless turd. Dollar for dollar in upgrades, the 200x motor will walk the warrior. It just needs bearings? Fix the bearings, and sell it, double your money, and buy a nice 200x motor. Dont start a hack job, fix it right.

That motor will not out perform a 350x.Only reason it would beat smaller machines is 6th gear.

I have personally witnessed an '86 200x spank a similarly set up Warrior. The X had a 12.5 piston and exhaust...that's it. Warrior had a higher comp piston (don't remember exactly what ratio), aftermarket cam and exhaust.

Warrior's with their mild, 2-valve head and corresponding intake and exhaust are really lackluster for a 350. Descent displacement, but choked way down.

Don't ruin a 200x by cobbling a Warrior engine into it. You won't like it.

You want a 350 trike, get a 350x.

I agree warriors are turds, not much in the power department. A well built 200x engine would be the way to go. Cam, pipe, carb, high comp piston, good clutch, and a little porting you would be happy.

well i was going with something to run pump gas for woods riding and playing because im building my dads 200x for ice racing ... also a step up from the little 200s engine in it... should it put a 10.25:1 in the 200s? because i want to run pump gas and still have some power because im figuring out sooner and sooner i want more out of my 200x but the only 350x on craigslist is 1800 bucks and im not quit ready to dump that on a trike

Well, you may not believe it but taking on a project like shoe-horning a different engine into a machine that wasn't designed for it will run you quite a bit of time and money if you want to do it right.
