Bummer Big Time!

[sheldonth]

O.K. So I screwed up.
I bought an ugly bike with a pretty motor, a 1978 ratted out frame with an I don't know
750e engine. The engine ran nice enough that I was very interested in buying it for my
1979 honda. The 79 was missing an engine but was all there and a nice looking bike
with only 14000 on it. The 78 motor does not fit on the bottom motor mount
and I have now been told it won't work at all, although modifications are already
buzzing through my head. It looks like the other motor mounts may line up, but what do
I know. I don't wish to ruin two nice items trying to marry them, so I need a
good Honda Pro who has messed with these older bikes, to steer me right.
   I have all this nice stuff, and am wondering wether to sell, or try to get on
with this project.
   I can't even find anyone who will tell me what motor I have by the numbers grrrr.
How frustrating!
Anyone want some nice stuff?
Too much to list here.
Sincerely,
