I'm presuming you're not English, telling us where you are from and which year SV may help?

Ebay, breakers or in the wanted section here is probably your best bet.

Quickest way is probably from a breakers or Buy it Now from ebay but you'll pay more, auction off ebay would normally be cheaper but may take some time.

Put an 'ad' in the wanted section, you may be lucky.

FYI on this site 1999-2002 SV's are called 'curvy', 2003 onwards are called 'pointy', you can fit the 'pointy' engine into the curvy with swapping a few bits but getting a 'curvy' engine would be easiest.

right ok but can you tell me how i can change the engens of the 2003 modle into the "cervy" frame

Not done it myself, you certainly need to blank off the 'pair' system, not sure if you need to replace/swap ign pickups / flywheel. Not really a lot to it.

Try the search.

Block PAIR ports
Swap alternator rotor
Swap side cover/alternator stator
Swap inlet rubbers

You might also have to block oil cooler ports depending what exhaust you use. Or get longer lines to move cooler.

I have one with 30K on it.

It'd need new front exhaust studs which I'm going to get and fit...fingers crossed the old ones come out okay hehe. Studs are damaged as had to cut the nuts off. Engine is actually still in the frame so will need some time to get it out.

I'm in Surrey so not a million miles away from you. I assumme you' are able collect? I don't drive so can't deliver myself but can get it delivered by a Courier.

If interested , PM us and we could possibly work something out.

Cheers
Ben
