I built this sled last year (2008) because I had the motor, so I bought a -05 440 REV only to pull out the 440 motor to replace it with the -06 600 SDI. My idea was to make a durable sled at the same time as it could be used, really used....
I like the motor, but to be honest the chassies they put it in on the market are quite useless if you ask me!
I changed only the ramps in the primary clutch and left everything else as it was concerning the drive train.
This worked like a charm and the sled exeeded all my expetations.
Mounting and SDI motor in a carburator sled meant that I had to strip the whole sled to bare chassie and exchange the electrical wirering. I had to remove the small cooler element and find a big one to be sure to exclude overheating.
I also had to mount the separate oil tank to make sure that the lubrication would be in order.
All this took about a weeks worth of effective time and I can sincierly say that it was worth the time and money spent. I feel I have a uniqe sled and it does´nt hurt that it only whants about 15 liters of fuel per 100 km. - It´s nice to screw!
