how big of engine swap?
how big of engine do you think a spree could hold?
I had this crazy idea to drop an aero 150 engine in the back and see what happens

Re: how big of engine swap?
The handa elite S motor would be the best choise. You can modify the 87 motr mount or eeld the eliote C mount to the spree mount. Also move the shock bolt for the motor. The you can as big as you wasnt. if you are thinkin of an aero i would choose an aero 80 or 125 two-stroke.Streetglow wrote:how big of engine do you think a spree could hold?

Loncin (Chinese) makes a 125/150cc scooter motor. Yamaha design, totally aircooled, 12" rear wheel. Dirt cheap and readily available on the mainland, but a 4-stroke. Elite 150's were 4-stroke and water cooled; the radiator would be a pain to mount.

Cool. I've been calling yards around here and can't find anything. As an example, talked to a yard in OH yesterday. Guy had an '88 Elite 50 motor, no carb or exhaust (but he was "throwing in" the starter.) No compression, $175. I'd much rather pay more for a crate engine, but all I can find locally for crate motors are 125/150cc 4-strokes.

The 125cc Loncin aircooled's that I've found won't easily fit, but it sounds like you can get a Sym 50cc Dio knockoff from HI. This will fit, and would be a lot cooler than messing with the Spree plant; although I've still got some parts yet to try on that
Point is that guys want stupid money for questionable engines. I'd much rather deal with a Korean knockoff than building up some spent/monkeyed with Japanese engine.
