I'm the new guy around here and I don't post much other then questions and such but man I hate hearing these kindof deals..I got burned on a Polaris Rzr once and poured alot of money into it that I wasn't planning on doing before I ever got to enjoy it.. The money I poured wasn't even close to what you are having to do but man, I'm sorry to see this kind of thing.. Props to you!! This is the fear I always have on buying 2nd hand.. You just never know what you are getting.. After this is all said and done, the + side is you will know exactly what this motor has and you will know what it can do.. Cannot wait to see the end product of this build, and will take notes as to what I may want to slowly do to mine..
