Mod sled build

Here is the deal, the sled started as a 1986 trail indy 488 fan( I have before and after pics if anyone would like to see). Now the only things that are 86 on the sled are the bulkhead, tunnel and the crankcase halves. The sled has a ski stance of 43.5", extra-10 front and rear, motor punched .040" (now a 502 motor), slight porting job, shaved heads, carbs worked, Clutch work done, 10.2 gallon fuel tank, Custom seat, and tunnel bracing. The question is, I have a 133.5 extra-10 rear suspension, a 1.5" paddle track ( 133.5"), and a chassis from a 91-92 RXL SKS.....What motor should I put in it???? Went to the RXL chassis for the ability to put a liquid motor in. Don't want to go triple unless it is really cheap. Thinking 500, 600, or 700. Been checking out liberty motors, but the price is steep to get one that will drop in with all the parts to make it run. Looking at 500's, alot of cheap parts out there. I think with the right gearing I can still have a blast off trail and run on the trail too. Looking for some input to make up my mind, just don't want to break the bank!!!

Thanx for all the views, just looking for input. Was thinking that a 700 liberty would be great, but I think that everyone has a budget. Well, hoping that some input will trickle in. Looking at a couple of sleds this week, for parts and more.

How much money are you looking to put into it? I would put a water craft triple in it lots of horse power on pump gas.
