I have done this before after my EX was stolen and the motor was about all I had left of it. It isn't an easy task unless your mechanically inclined and have access to a welder. The majority of it was welding in motor mounts and raising the swingarm pivot point , so the chain torque would work right.I had to customize the pipe to fit the frame, mod a 350x airbox to fit, and heat and reshape the bottom of the gastank to clear the hose on top of the 300 motor, and weld on some odd ball brackets for the electrical stuff. But if you have the skills and the patients it make a killer ride! I'll try to post a pic of mine!
