So,I inherited a thoroughly mangled S3, with the ONLY part worth anything being the engine (don't ask me how THAT happened). I also have the possibility of hooking up with an XB roller that someone used for a chopper project. Can I install the engine in the XB frame? If so, are there any issues that need to be addressed?

I am going to let some one else confirm this but I am pretty sure a tuber engine will not fit mostly because of the cases being different in the back were the engine connects to the swing arm

Firebolt is right, it won't bolt in because of the different mounting...HOWEVER, thats not something a little custom fab couldnt fix...

Seems like it'd be very easy to find an tuber roller on ebay since so many of those get converted to choppers.
