And I would have more performance, as well as more options for parts. Everything I read so far has said to cut out the lower part of the post, put complete motor in with exhaust, place pieces that are bent to form the upside down Y around exhaust and aline them so that you can weld bolt locations for the motor mounts. I would probably also weld the mount for the head just to do things right.

Looking at a good chunk of change for the rebuild on this motor, but I think I would save in the long run beacuse it doesent need as much machine work as my 86 motor does. What do you guys think?

Chuck, you should buy my 86 motor  after I get this done, just in case everything goes **** up.

Not to mention I would also need to get a different carb and CDI box, Right?
