BT200x Predator 301 Swap Ep1

Welcome Everyone! In this video we swap a Big Block Predator 301cc engine in this BT200x. I gotta tell you this is an easy swap for one of these BT200x mini bikes. I just fits so nicely. 30 series on a big block is a little scary because of clearancing the engine side cover, but it should hold up to the power of this 301 and is way more compact than a 40 series torque converter.

Your friends reaction at the end was the best 🤣🤣👍

About to start this swap. Thanks for the help.

Fast hammer magic trick

[@Petro5ONE0]

Couldn’t you have just put an engine riser and took the tank off got a new one and saved all the fab work?

[@DJsHotRodFab]

@@Petro5ONE0 yes, but I'm a fan guy and this engine plate is way stronger.

[@jimmyrigging101]

Would I be able to do the same build and fit a 40 series torque converter on it?

[@DJsHotRodFab]

I don't see why not. It is much larger than the 30 series, so I can't say for sure.

[@jimmyrigging101]

@@DJsHotRodFab thanks man, just one more question. Do you think I'll have to shear off the oil dipstick with the 40 series like you had to with the 30 series?

[@DJsHotRodFab]

@@jimmyrigging101 you will not have to do that with the 40 series

[@rajans2985]

What batter do you guys have for the light

[@DJsHotRodFab]

Its a Milwaukee 18v. I am running Dewalt 20v on my bikes. You can find both adapters on amazon and Ebay.

[@EliJones.]

Could I get the link to the torque converter

[@DJsHotRodFab]

It's just a 30 series driver with a 1" bore instead of a 3/4 shaft like they normally come with

Where did you get that baseplate I need one for my same build

Where did you get that engine plate

[@DJsHotRodFab]

Go power sports

Could it be possible if you could swap the 200cc engine in the coleman CT200U moped with the predator 301cc engine

[@DJsHotRodFab]

@@Yoda_Editz77 that is what we did

[@Yoda_Editz77]

@@DJsHotRodFab Ohhhh I thought it was a different bike😅

[@DJsHotRodFab]

@@Yoda_Editz77 oh ya I see what your saying. You can definitely fit in on a ct200

[@user-we2cz3hs8j]

Did you use the stock clutch

[@DJsHotRodFab]

No it has a 30 series Torque Converter on it.

[@anthonyrivera657]

If anyone can see this what torque converter did you use?

[@DJsHotRodFab]

Its a 30 series with a 1" bore driver. You have to cut and fill in the rear oil fill on the side cover to make it fit.

[@morgankovarik3649]

"Isn't this supposed to be welded" as you look at a part from Go power sports. You pay for that quality.

[@DJsHotRodFab]

Lol

[@yusefs6873]

Would a 301 fit in a Coleman 200u

[@DJsHotRodFab]

Idk haven't tried

[@Deucealive75]

If it fits in the BT it should fit in the 200U.

[@abdulkamau2862]

Yes

[@bentley4l]

@@Deucealive75 does it fit into the stock bolt holes?

[@Deucealive75]

@@bentley4l No. The 301 has a bigger footprint.
