Blaster OEM 760 pipe in B1?

[Mile9c1]

Anyone know if a stock 760 pipe will fit into a blaster 1? I'm planning a 760 swap / conversion (removing a complete 760 from a 'Raider and putting it into a B1). I did a search and didn't see anything about the OEM 760 pipe fittment.

I know there is some type of difference with the bolt sizes on the exhaust manifold.........not sure what they are. I'll try to find the post that mentioned it. other than that I believe everything else will line up (bed plates are the same)

"bolt pattern is the same, but the 760's use the 10mm bolts instead of 8mm bolts to support the huge stock exhaust from the 760 engine.
No big deal there, as you just screw in 8mm X 1.25 helicoils into the threaded holes as they are the same 1.25 thread pitch."

I have the 760 engine and exhaust. The exhaust is huge and I know it would require a rear water box. The question is, will the exhaust fit? Also, will the oem flame arrestor (dual 44) fit?

i don't know if you're going to be able to fit that exhaust in there......I'll take a look at my wife's b2 and compare it to my b1. the dual 44's should fit no problem. i have a rear waterbox (from a raider 701) in one of my b1's. very easy mod.

the exhaust is so heavy, why not throw timecerts in and utilize B- Pipe or other aftermarket exhaust...??

I completely agree. Put in the 10mm to 8mm reduction threaded inserts into the exhaust bolt holes and slap a Riva red pipe on it.

What OF said. That is a very heavy pipe.

The oem exhaust is already on it, plus it is tuned, bulletproof, and best of all FREE. I do have a b pipe on order but it wont be in for at least 1 month.

it wont fit but it can b made to. it works great in a blaster. good power with no issuse of crapy pipe mounting ang burning of hoses. i did one a few years back. you will have to cut part of the hull on the side to make the pipe fit. yes the pipe is a lil heavy but so is a riva red. you wont even notice the weight.
