swaping a YTM 225 engine with a YFM 350

    I recently purchased a pair of 1984 YTM 225 three wheelers. One is in great shape and the other complete but engine locked up. I been eyeballing the 350 cc engine on my dad's moto 4 and I think it will fit the 225 frame. Not really sure but I think the rear swing arm will have to be swapped as well. I even got out a tape measure and things looked pretty close to fitting. If anyone has any information on this topic I would appreciate the help.

    Considered doing a similar swap until I made the same realization that there would be swingarm and maybe a couple of surprise obstacles that may involve doing a little metal fab and welding depending on machine but like I always say, where there's a will there's a way. It's really just a matter of how much time, $$$ and effort you're willing to put into it... the sky's the limit! I say go for it if you're capable enough, which it sounds like you may be! And hey, if it weren't for people willing to try different things, the world would be a lot less fun!!! I've seen a lot of extremely wild and highly customized wheelers, bikes, sleds, and cars over the years and feel much more comfort knowing that I'm not the only one trying something different and getting complimented for it! Nothing's better than taking out your ride and getting rubber-neckers and compliments every time... all 350x's beware!!!
