thanks you and yes i do have the 540 in it. the reason for that is because due to the 440 motor failing which the motor on the bench just finished rebuliding it with new water pump. if this one ever blows up probaly put the stock back into it. the motor in it now has the 82 srx 500 bottum end with 540 top end.
