03 predator 05 motor swap help

[rathpred03]

I recently swallowed a valve in my 03' predator 500. broke valve off an smashed it into the piston, so i bought a motor off an 05 with reverse, upon getting it in the frame i found that the front motor mount plates are off? any easy fix? do i use the oil tank off the 05? what all do i need to make this work please help!!

i just did a full build on my 05 pred and my buddy did his 04 which is the same as 03. ull prolly need the oil take off the 05 but as far as motor mounts go...they should line up. mine was a ***** to get back lined up but i finally got em to line up. make sure ur motor is in the mounts on the bottom of the frame.
