Reading write ups on the Ace, it looks like this machine has almost all the needed parts from the rzr 570 to keep from breaking them with too much power (tranny, rear end, suspension). I also thought I had read somewhere that the 327 engine was the same bolt pattern and basic size of the 570. Does anyone who's looked at the specs (from the patents) have a decent idea of whether or not a 570 engine would bolt up? Looking on ebay, you can get lightly used 570 engines for 2k. I imagine after a couple months, there will be someone who will blow one of the Ace engines and need to buy one, you could probably sell it for close to the same amount.
Right now, I'm in a struggle between getting an Ace or the Wildcat trail. I love power, hate trailers and am worried about the length of the Wildcat. The Ace can fit in a pickup and is nimble, but even the reviews that praise it still say that it doesn't have enough balls to really get the back end spinning. For $7500, basically breaking even on an engine swap to a 570 (minus labor for the install). This machine would blow away everything currently on the market.
