its not that bad stuffing the motor in a 250 chassis. i'm working on one right now.
it would be a lot cheaper and easier to get another k5 frame. i have not heard of them breaking there.

doing the 250 chassis has fab work- motor mounts, head stay and pipe, cutting swing arm and spacers, and rad fitting.

Hi Guys.
I have a whole bunch of engine ID's as well as parts ID's here:

I add new stuff almost every week.
As always, if you have additional info that you would like to share, I would be happy to post that as well.
Thanks!
