    Looking to put a new motor(possibly a predator)in my Max 2

    Hi was looking for suggestions on an inexpensive motor for my Max 2. I have seen some pretty well priced Briggs Sratton 16 and 18 hp engines on line but has anyone put a 22hp Predator in their Max. Was in Harbour Frieght today and with a 25% off coupon the Predator 22hp would be very doable for my favourite lil 6x6. Anyone ever done this and know if their are any issues i should look out for. Basically reteaching myself engines because everything I once knew has been put in a fog from T.B.I. and other military related injuries. Any help with issues, advice, compatibility, or if it's even a good idea would be most appreciated. If it isn't too difficult it would hopefully fix any issue I am having an add some extra horses to literally my favourite ride ever!!!

    From what I've read, the only real issue is the charging system. not that they have issues, but they are only 3 amp. if you want to run any extra lights or accessories you may want to consider an external alternator

    I run LED lights, light bars, winches, etc. and never had a dead battery.

    Did the exhaust hook up or did you have to modify it? I am thinking about putting a Predator in my MaxII just for the extra HP.

    That looks pretty slick. The header wrap is a good idea for heat reduction as well. Good job on that and thanks for the pic.
