Wanted - 650 Motor for 1980 Special Western/Southwestern MI

[52Chevy]

I've been tearing into my bike and discovered I would need to completely rebuild my motor, which I don't really have time(or experience) for at the moment. So I was wondering if anyone had any motors they were looking to get rid of, or if you knew of any.

Thanks everyone, it's much appreciated,
Dave

THanks for the posts, sorry I haven't been on much to respond. I will have to give it some thought.
Does the exhaust come with?

 

[h3llb3nt1]

No worries. Not actively trying to sell it. It is nice garage art. No sorry the exhausts are for my other chop. Take your time with what ever you decide to do. Its not going anywhere.

I have one thats just a motor. It points though,, so you would have to run it that way or buy a pamco pete and go that route,, I'm near ann arobor and I'm selling it for $150 if you have things to trad I'm all ears too. I need a solo seat, foot shifting lever and newer habdle bar controls,, Let me know,, i could meet you half way too but then again you might see something else you need here at my place.

Just so you know you can use the points engine and still used your cdi ing.you just have to change over the charging rotor and stator.if it helps. and 150 is a very good price.

Yep, easy conversion to TCI and it may give you a points system to trade off or sell for those going to the Pamco.

What year is it??

Nevermind I see now that you aren't sure.

The vin number on the engine tells all....if it's there.

 

[52Chevy]

447-1 is what it looks like from the picture. Assuming the picture if of the exact motor since there are two. From my understanding of the charts its a 75.

Any reason a 75 wouldn't mount into my 80's frame? or anything to look for specifically?

 

[nj1639]

It'll fit.
What to look for? It's all a crap shoot unless you've heard it run....... or at least know the compression and mileage and then it's still a crap shoot.
