Anyone have any thaughts about this or heard of this being done? what is the difference between the raptor head and piston?

My guess is that the cylinder and piston are from a Raptor 350 - which is merely a slightly updated Warrior. I don't think they changed the cylinder, but they may have changed the piston (compression) slightly - but I'd verify that before bidding on this motor.

In my honest opinion, I'd be looking at an aftermarket piston with a fresh bore on an existing cylinder and using your existing bottom end. Much less work in the long run as you'll have to pull your own motor in order to put this one in. If just reworking your top end, you won't have to pull the engine.

I have to agree that I would just rework your engine due to knowing what you have already.

yea i was not thinking about buying this one. the part "I decided to part out the Wolverine so it has almost no time on the rebuild", proly means it did not work to well. was curious if any one has tried it.
