1984 Honda 200es engine swap

[blue79stangjc]

I have a 1984 Honda 200es that is a shaft drive and it smokes really bad. I also have a 1983 honda 200 big red chain drive with a good motor. I was wanting to see if you guys could tell me if i can take the chain drive motor and put it on my shaft drive frame. I would like to know if it is possible to swap out the parts to make it work. Both of these had been barn finds . Please help me with this. Thanks

It would be easyer to put the topend from the chain drive 200 on the es.Should swap right over. i believe they are the same topend.Good luck in what ever route you take.

I figured it would be easier to just do the top end swap, but i dont have the gaskets here and im afraid that it will take to long to get the gaskets here.lol Can't miss riding time on the weekends.

it seems like you can get the overnight shipping on this... been a while since i bought from them, but ive had them rebuild to motors and did a good job
