Engine 'transplanting'. Feasible?
Gday guys,
As recently I have managed to proper kill my DR engine ( http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ad-ideas-60087) I'm looking at purchasing a second hand 2008 DR650 with 6200 km on the clock and using this engine to put inside my old case so I can retain the engine number and keep paperwork lovely.
Does this present any problems? Can any give me ideas on what else I should be considering here. What would I need to replace in my case? The other bike would cost approx $3000. My repair bill was $4400.
I'm planning on riding to Alaska, USA and later on, Africa, starting off this time in Canada. I would like to keep my old modified frame and hence my paperwork which is sorted. Hopefully one day I can take the bike home to Aus...via Asia.
Huge cheers and  s in advance!
Rossy.
