Anyone know if you can direct swap any parts off a proclimb era 800 HO on to the 2009 800?
Reason I ask is I have a bunch of brand new take off parts from my '14 PC big bore build and I'm thinking about swapping the head and the Y-pipe to my almost stock 09 M8 (can only).
I saw an ad on Kijiji with a guy selling an 09 800 motor with a proclimb head so I starting thinking...
I think the newer HO head has slightly higher compression but would the bolt pattern, coolant passages and seals line up?
And if I remember correctly, upgrading the 09 y-pipe was a good mod as they didn't flow as well as the '10s (and up) due to a restricted web. Would the bolt pattern and ports line up? Would it be the right length and outlet diameter for the donut?
And at the end of the day, I wonder if they'd be decent little gains on my 09?
Hell, Ive got a set of fresh stock 800 reeds too...
(I'm gonna cross post this on the M Series thread too)
