I am doing the single engine full conversion. I plan on running the Cen 5HP motor in it, so far the kit is pretty simple to put together, there are a few things I am disappointed in, I think they could have put more time in the final finish of the product, its a little dull, and they require the use of allot of the original screws, which you would think they would include for the price they charge for the kit, the instructions would be really hard to follow for some one who has never had a savage apart.

I would have had it fully assembled but i have run into a little snag, the skid plate assembly I currently use will not work on the conversion so I need to order some front and rear skid plates, I will also order the alloy transmission box, way to much plastic *L*

yep, the only thing that changes is the purple T plate, and there are wheel extensions that are added, and spacers are used to make the bulkhead fit the chassis
