I know there have been a couple of posts on this before but none have any pictures. I was thinking about putting an XR650L dirtbike engine in my 400EX's chassis. I was just wondering if anybody had any pictures of this done and maybe any problems they had while doing it. I'm not sure if the engine will bolt up easily but I have heard that the head doesn't fit right. This is a picture of one that looks like it was done pretty well.

Thats a really nice conversion , Very clean.
I would much rather put a crf motor in a 400ex frame though.

I know the CRF would be cool too but I was going for the whole 400EX look so people would be freaked out when I beat raptors on a stock looking 400EX.
