93 Kat 600 engine swap

[elc487]

So took my kat to the shop today.........engine is shot. Mechanic wont touch it. So i'm looking for another one. What engines will fit in a 93 kat 600? Any would i need to change the wiring harness also? I'm not trying to spend a whole lot cause I'm leaving for a year overseas. Just wanna get this kat up and running so I can enjoy what time I have left here.

Listen to Steves. This pretty much explains it. Read it 3 times because you are going to miss something the first two times. Not being smart about it. Just helping.

I've read the post about it. Many times. I know that the 98+ engines will fit. I also know that I should use all the old parts if they're still good. But I was wondering about mounting it to the frame. Drilling new holes into the frame is something that I just don't have the facilities for.

why in the holy hell do you think you need to drill holes in the frame? Were'd that come from.

I apologize for sounding retarted, the mechanic said some of the holes wont match up and he'd have to make new ones. Got this info from 2 diff mechanics. Just wanted to be put at ease before i begin something that i might not be able to handle.

those 2 mechanics are tools, it's the SAME engine, one is black one is silver.

Ok. Thank you very much. I'll prob get it in by this weekend and def ask you guys if i have any more questions. Thank u for bearing with my ignorance. This is my first bike that I'll work on.
