I don't know how much that will help, but it will be in the right direction
Looking for some help

Never dealt with a triple, but generally the engine is angled slightly clockwise, like if you loosened all but the farthest engine mount and pushed forward on the primary clutch. The engine side of the secondary should be out from the alignment tool by around .040 with the far side touching. So it's not much of an angle. The secondary usually has a few washers on the bearing side, I think 1"ID x 1-1/4"OD, which are available in two or three different thicknesses. Then there should be a solid bushing the bolt goes through plus a stack of flat washers and a big end washer; as you add the washers on the bearing side, you also add to the outside to keep .030-.060 freeplay. The XLT is a Wedge chassis; was the engine from a different chassis? You might want to go shopping for a different engine plate, could be you just need one for a Wedge with a standard (non-monoblock) triple. Not sure on that, but while you can make just about anything work in these, it could be a lot of unnecessary work.
Mstory did you get it figured out?
Yes finally took it for a ride last night and it runs great just need to do some different jetting and exhaust
SWEET! Congrats!!!!
Any ideas on how to get the stock exhaust to fit

I have no idea what the stock 700 exhaust looks like so no help there. You might try Vintage Sleds website? They have some people that know a lot about Polaris stuff. best i can offer.
I think I have enough spare parts to make something work I would also like to put a egt gauge on to
I'd just go with stock jetting (or a step or two richer, if you're mixing and matching exhaust; shouldn't be a huge difference). If you've got EGT gauges sitting around, it wouldn't hurt. That said, I thought about buying an EGT setup, but in reading about it, it seems they don't really simplify tuning that much. Look up how to do a plug chop if you're not already familiar; same for piston wash.
Any idea what size jets should be in this thing
