250 big red project

**markfoxracing15** · 10-05-2009, 07:44 PM

well few days ago i bought this bike 27 bucks what a deal right ahaha well any ways it was off timeing so i got that all fixed went fer a ride then she jumped her timeing agin and ground up a valve and put a hole in the piston. then my buddy said he had a 300 top end laying around piston and rings and all and i was wondering would this bolt onto my 250 base ?

300 top end from what? 300es 2 wheel drive, the whole motor will drop in....

**markfoxracing15** · 10-05-2009, 08:19 PM

well the top end is off a honda 300 fourtrax 4by4 i was wondering if that top end would bolt onto my 250 motor base .

thanks

yea thanks for the welcome. my big red is also a 85. yea only places mine needs to be welded is on back the pipe that the rack bolts onto and under one of the foot pegs the frame got a hole in it there im just wating on to see what i should do for a motor now and im goin to try and find a 250 piston and head (just the part with the valves in it ) the cylinder and cam and top cover are perfect.
