What all would be involved in trying to make a 450 into a 660? Besides the engine bit is the chassis designed to carry both power plants, is the 450 radiator enough for the 660, wiring similar, same suspension/axles/diffs, and etc.?

If your answer is based around "Hammer, torch, and welder", I read those in my search thanks.

TIA

With all your knowledge. Just stuff a Honda 3.0 vtech in it.
At least you would not have to try to be faster. You would be.
I didnt mention any welding either.

why not do an r6 or r1 instead it would be cheaper, faster, lighter etc. there are a couple people I know of that are making kits for this as we speak. I want a twelve speed rhino with a foot clutch.


But if you insist on the 660 I think everything would be OK, the lower gearing in the ring and pinions of the 450 might be favorable over the 660s, (bigger tires turn easier) but good luck either way.

Although both would be nice, I'm looking for the simplicity and reliability of near stock powertrain.

After dismantling our 450, I believe everything is the same on a 450 as a 660 - possibly your engine mounts would be different.....but the raditator, oil cooler.....diffs...axles....all that should be the same. The only difference that I am aware of is there is no glove box - lol - and the engine isn't as powerful. I would think that swap would be relatively simple......

Ok, Now I'm amused at myself.........way back when I first saw 450grl posting on BRP I wonderd is this person realy a girl? and does this person have a 450 rhino? I've seen pictures of her rhino and it sure didn't look like a 450
I have since found out she is indeed a girl (a fine specimin too I might add) And now I find out she does/ did have a 450.

It's funny, somethings Are exactly what they seam

Anyone have a line on a used motor?

What are you looking to send. You know that a complete motor is not going to be cheap.....

LOL!! Thanks Joe!

And yeah.....complete motors are hard to come by......and buying all the parts for a motor new from yamaha is beyond pricey.....but keep an eye open...with so many rhinos nowadays, someone is sure to wreck one and total it.....so some insurance company somewhere has to have one.....

it's easy just sell the 450 rhino and take the 2k for the motor and buy a 660 rhino, unless you are a true glutten for punnishment! LOL

450 or 660? Only the hairdresser know for sure!

Nice 450. I am not a hairdresser. But it is easy to tell in the dunes or on the trails because they're always in the dust...back of the pack....eating all that dust for the 660 or bigger...

Makes a nice edition to the other 660 and 760 stroker rhinos that we use!

you got a stroker now???

I got WildBills Rhino, the silver one,has a 760 stroker motor.

Not quite that simple.

I had an offer to trade my rail for a 450 Rhino plus some other stuff, and was wondering how easy/practical the swap would be. And, while it was out at least a 686 kit would be a must...No slow stuff in my camp!

Might do it anyway.?.

I might have a motor out of mine.. Thinking of putting a Honda 929 in mine.. If I do I will be selling my motor for the right price.

Hey now!

Anyone else got a little info?

I bet my 686 beats that 760 stroker you got there:)

I can't wait to hit the track with an 804cc!!!!

Yeah and your Supra beats my C55S8,But I'm still better looking than you!

I am going to Keep the motor so I can race the Rhino.. Sorry guys... Need to finish the cage and the suspension for the race in june....

Brian

Darn nice Rhino you have there Exotica! I say put some paddles on that 760 and give ol Woon a run



I'm going to look up a salvage companies number now and give it to you, they have stuff there.



I would like to buy your old engine.
