Started out with an 05 M7 stripped it down and started building it back up with the 1147 in place of the 700. Tomorrow i should get the pipes fit into place and install the carbs on Monday when they show up.
No the center to center changed. Using a belt that goes on a Bearcat "Ultimax Pro 144-4900U4" which is 49 5/8 x 1 31/64. We decided to go with a longer belt so that it'll run a little cooler and give a little more room on the back side to place the carbs.
Ya there was a guy down by Boise Id. that said he does them, told me 1200 bucks but have lost his name and number. Been couple years, but now I'm ready. I have the 1150 cutler. Been trying to sell the motor and turbo out of the sled first.
We deleted the front cooler for that very reason, it is now just a glorified motor mount surface. We then added the ski-doo MXZ cooler under the tunnel to handle the additional cooling that these motors require as they are reverse water flow compared to the M-series lay downs
