Engine Substitution (Virago XV250)
#2
Right on!  I'm glad it's working for you.  Any pictures or vids of the project would be great!  I look forward to hearing how it works out in the long run.  Once you get gas mileage and what-not, let us know about any changes.

I'm surprised the heads were interchangeable as I had heard that the cams were different so I just assumed you couldn't do it.  It's also good to know the engine mounts were the same. (The frames look to be very different.)  I'd actually love to get a virago frame and drop an SRV engine in it then make a mini-chopper out of it.

If anybody else out there is looking to do a similar swap, definitely let us know how it works out for you.
