First post and glad I found this forum! This fall my son picked up an 88 srV in overall great shape but the engine didn't run. He went through the entire sled and got it running pretty well (he's 15 and its his first real project) but blew it up this last weekend. I picked up a sweet running 87 xlV for next to nothing and he plans on doing a engine swap. What if any are the main differences in the two engines?

If you swap all of it, harness, CDI, Carbs, Air Box then it should be good. I would think the XLV 540 would be the same but not sure from one year to the next.
