so im looking at using the rotating assembly for a ford 240 i6 to make a single cyl 661cc or a 300 to make an 880? ish cc engine and machine a gear box, i want to shoot for a 3500 buck goal, i want to use the first cyl and first set of cam lobes for it and machine the rest of the crank and cam off, my question is, should i design the frame similar to the KLR or more akin to my old YZ85 style of frame? and should i go with 6 or granny low and 6 gears?
