A buddy and I just did a storm build. We looked at putting the motor in the XLT but it would have been alot of work to do. First problem were the pipes 2nd the motor mounts were differnt. After we seen that we stuck with the storm tunnel
We did a similar mod this summer, instead of a storm motor in an XLT we put an Ultra motor in an XLT...
It was a decent amount of work, first was lining up the clutches, etc, with the airbox and airbox cutout for the steering shaft, motor mounts had to be changed. airbox was modified, ended up putting an edge style coolant bottle on to save space, oil tank worked thou...
we put tripple SLP pipes on it which barely fit, had to notch some of the hood to get the hood to close.
long story short, a decent amount of work and fab work
good luck!

RE: 800 Storm in XLT help
Got to find a custom steering post, motor straps, torque stop bracket from a Storm chassis, figure out your intake (air box versus pods) lift the motor about one inch for steering arm clearance, the bloody list goes on! All this in hopes that your hood is not that nice so it does'nt hurt quite as much when it comes time to make the pipes fit. I looked into it extensively and decided to put a top end in my 600 motor. But if ya got all the parts, let er' rip!
