Reviving the old RMK 800 2001

[bullfrog]

Hey guys, im looking to fix up the old 2001 rmk 800 151. She was a beast back in the day, and my nephew wants to use it on trails. Problem is she blew the crank thru the case many years ago so it been sitting. I have an eye on an 04 700 liberty engine, and im wondering what issues I may encounter with the changeover? I hear the block is the same size, just different jugs and stroke. I realize I need the CDI for the motor im putting in, but is there anything else like clutches, carbs,or anything else different? thx in advance for the info......

I think I have a CDi for the 700. Is from a 2003. I changed it out when I added reverse to a sled.

I think I also have one for an 800 that is reverse compatible.
