Default my kx500 tecate

well guys i just picked up a kx500 i the year range of around 86-88. i is all in peices. i got boxes and boxes of parts of newer and older 500s and my one tecate is still in peices so i figured instead of trying to peice the kx back together id put the motor in my tecate. the kx500 was $300 and the tecate was $150 i think its cheap enough. its only mounted through the swing arm hole and the pipe fits in like it should. and im geussing i need a bigger pipe

well i plan on bolting the motor in with new mounts and see how it rides/shakes. if it shakes really bad then i plan to rubber mount the motor like someone suggested for the other kx500 build.
