Looking at the prices twinc's are making, or the cost of a full rebuild, my mind wandered a little erratically.

The big motor revs to around 5,500rpm, and would be an 'easy' couple to the existing clutch/gearbox. So you would still use 'throttle' and 'change gear', just with a different power delivery characteristic. No more head gasket or water pump worries.
Cost around 8-12k+ GBP by the factory. Just source an engine-less, rolling +2 and away you go.. Just not too far.
