My engine on my 71 xs650 needs some work. I'm going to pull it and rebuild it but want to put an entirely new working engine in the bike for the meanwhile. I know that parts are interchangeable from 70-73 but can I bolt on later motors to the 71 frame? Any crazy problems that I might encounter that anyone knows about? Thanks.

Great news! I really appreciate it. Might as well make it a 750 now... if I had the time and money! Thanks for the help.
Oh, anybody have a working engine that I could buy?
