Any one have any input or opinions on this motor heard they are rare. Good power ? Worth it for an x2 build? Is 800 a good price minus pistons carb and pretty much just cran cyl head

Does it look like this? if so you'll need blockoffs for the old intake manifold and from what I can guess very specific pistons to fit the 650 connecting rod. I bought a project ski and this came in one of the bins. Whole kit(head/gasket/jugs/pistons/carbs) just need a decent 650 bottom end to bolt it to. The previous owner was in love with this thing and swore it would be a sweet motor. It does have huge water jackets through the jugs and head for good cooling and I'm assuming it runs some high compression ratios. He also claims its worth $1600 as a full kit.
Wiseco used to make pistons that fit a 650 rod but were sized to a 750 jug but I've never heard of ones for 800. Probably gonns be a bit of a chore to find those.
I have a PJS 800 that is suppose to work with my 650 bottom end. Problem is 85mm pistons dont fit into the bottom crank case. 2 big!!! My son is a machinist he is taking the case 2 work to machine it out. Everything else fits.
Have a great day!!!!
