The best way to get an engine for a project is to buy a complete 500 and part out the extra parts. I gave $900 for my 1994 KX 500 and sold the rear wheel for $200, front for $150, and parting everything else out on ebay. I have almost gotten my entire $900 back which means that the engine/carb/electrics were FREE!!! It's a little work and the engine needed a rebuild but hey... it was free. Good luck to you.
There's a kx 500 for $950 here in Houston. See below

MUST SELL!!! a 1994 KX 500. needs a seal behind the front sprocket. The bike was running great two months ago. Just a little leak from the seal. The seal costs about $6 bucks I just haven't had time to fix it. I need the money so I'm in a mood to deal. You can get a great bad ass fast bike for cheap. Call Roy 832-221-9400.
