1998 Yamaha Kodiak 400 - Engine Swap

[grapeape]

Hi I have a 1998 Kodiak 400 that locked up the bottom end. 2 actually....

I am looking for used engines or parts and I have run into some questions. The local shop isn't so helpful.

What years are the same? I have a 2002 400cc motor in a box already.

Could a 350cc from the same year bolt in there? I have a wrecked one in hiding out back.

I work on a ranch we have several of these monsters. All have a shton of miles on them. These things are easy to work on and work with. We plow with them. Maintain power lines and fences from them. Any info would be really helpful..

Thanks

the 350s and 400s are the same block, the 400 has a longer stroke. i would assume yamaha didnt change the motor mounts, but dont quote me ... looking on the parts list, a kodiak in the year 1996 to 1998 uses the same frame, the 350s used a different frame ... i would say take some measurements and cross your fingers. the connectors will probably be different from different years/bikes too ... im sure you will run into a few mods you have to do along the way ...

I'd imagine that the cylinder head mount is a different size but the driveshafts should be in the right place and bolt up. Run the 350 carb and wiring/cdi.
