Ive got a 98 T-cat doner sled with a fresh motor. And ive got a 2002 mtn cat bulkhead with VE tunnel. I want to put the t-cat motor in it. I know they made the 2002 T-cat, is it that same as mtn cat?

T-cat vs. Mtn cat bulkhead differences?

Bulkhead is basicly the same in 2002 from MC to TC. The triple will fit.
Im planning on using stock 02 t-cat motor mounts. The bulkhead just didnt cross the part numbers is all.
Send a PM to Idcatman1. He has done all kinds of swaps like this on Cats. Great guy for helping out on projects and has tons of used Cat parts. Helped my son out when he put a 600 trip mod motor in a 1M chassis.
Good Luck, Sprocket.

You'll want the '02 MC 1000 motor mounts, the bulkhead is slightly different. It's not a huge difference, but probably enough to screw it up. If the bulkhead has the mounts from a 600 twin in it already, you don't have to change the rear one, just need the front mount, and right rear mount.

I can't wait to see and hear this.
The mountain cat bulkhead for 01 and 02 had a slight drop and roll from the ZR one. So the jackshaft is a little lower by about 1/2" and the jackshaft and motor mount bracket on the left rear of the engine will need to be from a Mountain Cat not a ZR. The four brackets that bolt to the engine are the same from Mountain Cat to ZR, but you will need to get them from an 01 or 02 because they are different than the ones on your 98 engine. I have some of the front brackets but will need to find a Tcat to look at to make sure they are the right ones.
