so i have this older quad, 2 wheel drive, shaft drive, high low its drum brakes in the rear, connected to that is the Suzuki 230cc 2 valve motor, with electric start.

the frame of the quad and everything else seems to be in bad shape, real bad rust throughout it. but the odometer only has 750 miles on it. so the motor and everything should come back to life really easy.

but i think i can get my hands on a older 82-84 big red chassis with a bad motor and what not.

what do you guys think? its basicly the same motor design, both use shaft drive, both have high and low. i guess my dads big red has reverse thou. but still..

should i try this? i got nothing into this project so far, the quad was free, and the big red can be had for 50 bucks or so.

You should try it sounds like a good project. the big read came with about the same cc engine as the one you have so it should have enough power.
