I'd have to think that, due to the two different crankcase designs, it would require a lot of fab work to swap in a newer style engine, either Honda or Chinese. The engine mounting points appear to be vastly different, in my opinion.

Yeah it's the old clamshell design. The good thing is that the bikes uses the motor as a stressed member so if the swingarm pivot is in the right place I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a new front and top mounts.
