I was thinking of putting a different engine in my Polaris 440, (like a 700 twin) Do you think it would be worth it or should It trade for another sled? I want more power.

It all depends on what you are looking for, and how much you want to spend. My buddy put a Bombadier 670 engine in a Polaris XC 400. We also replaced the entire front suspension with aluminum. We replaced the rear with a M-10. We had Jaws make pipes to fit the Bombadier to a Polaris body, and put a digitron racepack to keep track of temps. Everything on the extertiror looks stock (except for the suspensions). What a fun , fast sled that gets attention wherever you ride it. That was about 7 years ago, when the Pol-Bomb was born.

Unless you know someone who is an expert at that and can get a deal on an enigine, I would say that it would be better just to buy the new sled, but to each his own I guess.

What year is your 440 Trent? Is it an xcr? If it is a 98' or newer you can easily drop a new xc twin in it. How much can you get an engine for?

 

[trentw]

It is a 98 440 not an XC just plan 440. (Grandma like sled.) It would make a cool sleeper.

find me a 700 man

Since it is just like an Indy 440 and not an xc or xcr, I don't think it would be as easy to install a 700 twin. I would maybe look for a new snowmobile instead, it is a lot less work. Sell those dang jet-skis and get a snowmobile!

 

[trentw]

That is what I did! But I am looking at a stand up jet ski in Northhome MN.
(I just cannot stay on dry land)


Eric: Did you like the pic. I sent to your e-mail?

Yeah, that pic was, well, different. Where was that from? Didn't Polaris start making the standup jet-skis? Get one of those. I think you need a new sled first though.

 

[trentw]

Sorry about the pic. man
Yeah I guess that stand up will rock, i want to try it out!
I also heard Polaris is going to make a different 4-wheeler something like a Honda sport trax.

Is that 440 really a dog? I have only driven it around the yard a little

[erick]

No, I don't mind the pic, it was cool. What do you mean a dog? Is it a fan engine in there?

 

[Pooly_31]

Hey looser (trent)! what, you decide you need a bigger motor to keep up with me or what? jk...you're just never satisfied are you? and i can't believe you're still looking at that old stand-up in northome, just buy it already, its not like its that expensive.

Yee Haw!!!

 

[trentw]

It is a 440 liquid; I guess I am use to my brothers 600 triple that I used part of last year.

Pooly: yeah if you ride your sled like you ride watercraft I will be playing catch-up all day. I will not get a chance to stop and have a shot to keep me warm.

I'd be too lazy to take on the project with my primary sled. don't mind taking on a project with one's I ride occaisionally. Just means down time and can't sled if you're working on it.

If you're gonna ride your lil bro's sled, what're you gonna do with the 440?

Yee Haw!!!

 

[Pooly_31]

and trent, riding a sled on the lake is just like riding a watercraft...if you're gonna head to buffalo, a straight line's the best way...right?? lol

Yee Haw!!!
