What quad is that hood produced for?

 

[yakuza]

The hood is a maier mojave # plate.

That looks a lot better than the Blaster swap I've seen before.

thats freakin awesome, bet its soo fast compared to the 350

 

[dave76]

Yeah must of been fast as hell, but according to Mickey, the 5 to 8 HP difference between the 446 and the 500 wasn't worth the almost $1000 dollors more. Remember you needed a 400 Kodiak cylinder, and connecting rod, which he bought new, then bore the new cylinder out to to accept a 90mm sleave, plus stroke the stock Warrior crank. The Kodiak cylinder looks to be like 8mm higher.

 

[dswwarrior350]

There would be a cheaper alternative than using the taller cylinder from the kodiak. You could simply machine a block for the bottom of the cylinder but i havent seen anyone do this for the warrior yet. However i have seen it done before.

 

[warriorspeed350]

did u guys see the 440 warrior way back in dirt wheels?....the fenders are different like you know how you can see the gas tank when u look at it from the side...they extended it there and it looked sweet

 

[dave76]

I think Mickey said they were 400EX fenders he modified to fit.

 

[warriorspeed350]

hmm, idk they look stock except the piece by the tank
