Several things to consider, weight to HP ratio. I knew a fellow rider who put a 500cc engine in his 2 seat Blade buggy years ago. First, he had plenty power to climb anything except he could never get good traction. On a strait away he would blow the doors off us 150 and 250 riders but get him on trails and we would pass him plus he was always welding his frame. If you have the engineering skills you can solve the latter but you will still have the traction problem for the buggy is just too light for the HP it puts out. About 5 years ago at the annual bash one guy showed up with a Carter buggy that had a Honda TRX 250 swap. That buggy was awesome. As long as you have the tools and know how, but if you have to pay to get some of it done it could cost you more in the end and not be satisfied.
