I'm a new member today. Forum looks awesome!!

Does anyone know if a 2000 mxz 700 engine will bolt in a 2002 mxzx 800. Could I use my same carbs airbox Etc?

Welcome to the site!!!!

Both are ZX chassis. Everything from the 700 should be able to move over to the 800 sled. You may have to drill a hole or two but, its an easy swap

You will most likely have to swap out the chassis wiring harness at the same time. Doo changes the connector type almost every year. You will have some jetting issues to deal with as well. Didn't the 700 have round slide carbs on it? Other than that, It should be a simple swap.

Thanks guys for the replies. My younger brother on his first trip north blew his 800x up only a couple miles from the motel a couple weeks ago, thought we found a 700 motor cheap but sold too high. Just gonna keep looking. If anyone has a good 700 or 800 that wil fit a 2002 mxz 800x please let me know. thanks again guys!
