Any progress Idcatman on the transplant?
If its a 13-14 a local machinist has a nice belt drive tensioner for the new pro to handle the extra torque,and priced right. Would like to see the big mil as a lite lbs wolf in sheepskin project on snow. There really was no beefier oem near the 1 litre cc than the early 1M 900 and they will still offer most all replacement parts for many years down the road. Still today a frequent old school big iron ride noticed in the mountains.
Starting to sound like nostalgi chevy commercial, so later.

Ours are only going in Dragons so far. We picked up those chassis very cheap (I have 1 year old twins, everything has to be cheap) and will make sure we like that before trying to find a Pro.
We are going to have the first ride on our over Christmas, just needs a few last things buttoned up. All the big stuff is done, just have to mount the electronics. I probably won't get a chance to work on it again before next Saturday, but hopefully then we'll get it out of the shop at least.
Looking at the Pro, the mod there will be very easy as well.
Even the pipe is easy, pretty much all that's necessary is adding ~1.5" into the belly of the stock Polaris 800 pipe. The dimensions are nearly exactly the same as the stock Cat 900 pipe.
We still have a ton of parts for these motors, and I haven't ridden anything new that I could even come close to affording that gives this level of performance. Easy mods and we're pushing 170-180 hp.

1.5 is ~ 2...
I thought it was 2, but didn't remember exactly. Plus you're matching the stock pipe, we're trying to be closer to the Black Magic single, which is a little shorter.Just get an Arctic cat Prolite and be done. 210HP and 420lbs.
Best of all worlds.

Except price and craftsmanship.

Price is high, I agree. But you get what you pay for. I haven't seen or heard of any issues with craftsmanship. People are paying $12k for a Polaris Pro and it lacks craftsmanship to say the least.
There was a thread about it last year, wraps being applied over factory decals and hacked up stock running boards showing under the tube frames.

Best of all worlds except the cost one. Don't know for sure about catmen, but I will be into this project under $2500. What's a prolite cost?
Almost killed him to ride a polaris. Build thread will be in that section shortly. Runs pretty well.
