sr erick did it but it took time and some fabing to so. its no direct bolt in like the 600. you can get a 600 and send the enigne to carls cylce and get a 860 made out of it though.

well really they are a much different feel. what are riding like. the IQr is no trial sled but the prox can be. the iqr will jump better but tis a stand up only sled. the prox you can get with and 800 and mod from there. the IQr you ahve to make what you want. its all in the time and money you want to put in the sled to make it what you want and also your riding style.it may be easier to but a 685 in a IQr then a 800. 685 with have more HP then a 800 ves but less torquw. the new 800 will be very hard to get the engine but it will kill to have. how much money are you going to drop on this thing?

the new 800cfi is a small block so you'll have a lot easier time fitting that in there than you would a regular 800BB. The wiring and fuel pump will be your major issue. Its definately doable! if i could get the motor i would do it in a heartbeat. Sr_erick's is definately the most impressive one i've seen yet.

I really like the IQr as a trail sled. I have been able to run with just about anyone. It becomes much more fun when the trails get bombed out and start to look more like a SnoX track. With that said, it corners different than a ProX, with the way I have my ProX setup, the IQ ski lifts LESS than the PRo X, but with the high center of gravity and lack of swaybar the body rolls more.

I am really liking the sound of a 700 or 800 in the chassis for next year, I have been spoiled by the power of the 700 ProX. The fab work needed is a little daunting to think about. Check out brad's motor plate and the pinned big block in an IQ topic at the top.

if i get an iq i would run the 440 til the new 800s become more available and easier to come by. If i got any iq it would be a slower build over a couple of years, since i'm a in college right now. it pretty much depends on how fast the 800s come available
