    why dont you just upgrade to bigger trike, it would probably wind up cheaper because a bigger engine thats not meant to fit is going to take cutting and welding.
    but thats just my .02 cents worth

    Try an aircooled 250R motor, they rip and the motor isn't that big.

    biggest baddest

    250R Motor sounds Good. I can weld pretty good I have all the equipment (arc welder Ect.) From what ive gatherd a 350x motor wont fit. I could go out and buy a 350X or 250 R and probably will at some point but im looking foward to modifying my 200x cause its fun and just to be able to say i did it.....

    If you can fabricate and weld you can drop almost anything in there.

    A 2-stoke sounds great but you'll have to do some serious frame mods to get the exhaust out.

    Ok, how about an XR400R motor with an aftermarket pipe, cam, and 440 kit? That little motor would rip, make sure to find an extended swinger too. I want to see this one.

    just through in an XR 200 motor. six speed tranny, and an improved head design, and the best part of all, no mods required.

    The XR400R motor is a 4 stroke.

    What's your budget on this project?

    Are you talking about the 86-87 frame or earlier? If it's an earlier frame you won't get a 2 stroke in it without cutting and welding and I have my doubts even on the 86-87 frame.
