Just wondering....engine swap?

Sooooo...the Lifan X-pect 200 is still on my radar. At some point, I'm gonna want a bit more power. Not really interested in all the work in trying to get more power out of a 163FML. Would there be a slightly larger engine, TRUE 250 (not 223) - 350, that can be a direct or easy drop in? I don't mind picking up an older, used engine and rebuilding it. Some fabbing's ok. If I get this bike, I may actually want to commute on it every now and then. Would mostly be for riding around town, or so. But, would be nice to have more torque and hp's for the highway. If it can be done, I would look at a rear disk conversion...story for another day.

So, any ideas?
