Hi,

I want to surprise my wife this year (actually I'm bored and and l want to take it apart - haven't modified a Bombardier since 94)

I bought her a 98 Formula dlx 500 last year and was going to transform the mill to the 98 mxz 500 specs.

I have all the specs, timing, clutch set-up, rotary valve timing/adjustment, baseline jetting, gearing, etc.

But before I start, can someone tell me if the port transfers are the same? Is the dome comfiguration the same? Are the rave widths the same?

I have a 98 mxz in the shop right now and it's pulling the same compression ratio - but before I tear into it I need to figure out if the project is feesable.

If it's just a matter of swaping the external parts, I will do it, but If the port transfers are diferent heights I will probably drop the project. Got too many bigger project comming up.

thanks

I ran the 501 rv in my 98 mxz 500.

Bobber has good advise... thats a odd , but cool project, I wouldGUESS they were *the same . What are the carb differences? If you mess with the clutch go behond what came with the Mx 500....and maybe a gearing change is also in order. Message me, if you want I can give you a baseline clutch set up if your so moved.

Check the part numbers between the two sleds for the cylinders and the base gaskets.

The internals of the engines are the same. Have atter!
