72 cb engine swaping

a4x4spit
Ive been bragging up the dependability of my cb for years (34) but now have to pay.. I let a friend a few years ago ride my cb long story short..  some speed shifting was involved & now it pops out of second.
I just got a low mileage engine from a shop/ guy who used the cyls, pistons ,heads & some side covers  he said he rode the bike the engine came out of a few miles to his shop& everything seemed to work properly.
my plan is to get the engine out of my bike and setting beside the new one get a gasket set &swap whats not on the new engine from the old engine .. Id like to refresh it while Im at it but  moneys tight and unless I run into issues ...its use what i got anyone know whereIcan get  reasonable  gaskets ? Ive been searching but hope someons already done it

Check out the parts resource here. Lots of links to places to get parts.
If you are looking for cheap cost, partsnmore.com is pretty good. I have used some of their stuff, no gaskets though other than exhaust, but they worked well.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
