As some of you know, I blew my top end and thus I have to re-nikesil the cylinder. On craigslist I saw an 96 RM250 engine for $250.00 Can I mount this engine on my 2002 KDX 220R?? Thanks!

:shock:

I'm gonna go ahead and say no, just due to the sacrilegious nature of the question.

Seriously, I doubt that it would be an easy swap. Things like getting the carb even close to aligning with the air box, getting the counter shaft sprocket to align with the rear sprocket, and building a custom pipe tend to keep people away from mods like this. The motor mounts are usually the easy part....
