Just for kicks: YZ to CR Engine Swap?

[halowords]

Out of sheer curiousity, has anybody heard of a current ('99 to '05) YZ250 or KTM SX 250 engine being stuffed into a '02 or newer CR250 frame? It just seems like something somebody would at least attempt.

Here is one of his pictures. He did an excellent job on that one.

I'm not subscribed so I can't see the pics . . . yet.

Any idea how he did it (e.g. what mods he made, etc.)? I did a search and got his responses to how it works and the YZ280 engine mods, but no specifics on how he got the engine to fit the frame.
