swapping motorbike engines

Wadau I have been thinking of acquiring an offroad bike, but the prices are not encouraging, especially original brands the likes of ktm, zontes etc… so my idea is to acquire a frame from a garage and swap the engine, my question is has anybody ever imported Chinese engines prefererably 400cc (not twin) nipe quotation estimate please… Thank you

Keenly following…

Same plan but i wanted to build electric.got the frame built the battery but getting controller and motor was an ordeal. The chinese will lie through their teeth about specs to get your money. You order one thing and get a weaker variant. Petrol engines are abit more straightforward but you might still end up with a shitty 200cc with half plastic gaskets.there are legit dealers but most arent.also shipping will cost an arm and 3 legs

petrol engine is quite straightforward, kwanza kama the wiring is already in place, the only problem might be the engine not fitting inside the frame, ama the rear sprocket refusing to align
