Does a PK125 engine fit straight into a 50 Special frame ?
What's to look out for ?
most importantly, does any of the frame need cutting aout ?
It's an electric start motor, but will not be using that.
thanks

Depends on if it's a 2 or 3 stud inlet manifold.

Presuming you're running the standard carb swop the PK inlet for a Primavera one if it's 2 stud casings but a 3 stud motor will mean trimming the hole in the chassis as they run a differant routing.
