250Renvy

O.k. so I'm thinking of building a 250R hybrid. I already have a 250X and a 250R so my first option is to get a modded frame and just mesh them together.
The problem is that the 250X motor could use a rebuild and I'd like something with a little more power, coming from 250r's. I figure it'd be cheaper to buy a slightly used 300ex motor than completely overhaul a 250X motor.
Ideally I'd go with a big bore 350X motor because it has six gears and kick start but I want to have reverse.
So that leaves an option of getting a newer 300ex motor or possibly a 400ex motor but then I have to fab up and figure out where to put a battery.
So that is what I want to do and I was thinking I could install a kick start into a 300ex motor but will that work, has anybody ever done it and are the motors even that similar?
