You're not gonna get an IL4 in there, or a parallel twin. Maybe a big single, xt660 (but thats under 50bhp). Two stroke twin, perhaps...but you were wanting reliable, lol!

Well, assuming you want some other 4stroke V-twin in there of equal or slightly bigger cc's there's not much to choose from. Remember, it's going to have to have the rear exhaust port offset to the nearside - the same as the SV, otherwise you'll hit the shock.

I suppose if you carry over the carbs+ airbox off the donor bike, you'd need the tank too as it's most likely sculpted to suit the airbox it was designed for. Then, does that tank suit the shape of the frame.

It's a minefield. If I were you, I'd just live with the slim possibility of crank probs in the SV engine.... unless you specifically set out to do a project bike, in which case, fire ahead and keep us updated.

the only time I've heard of SV's throwing the crank is when they've been run with low oil level or no oil at all. Keep an eye on the oil level and service it when its supposed do and it will go on forever. Plenty of examples of this on this forum.

I doubt you'll get a different motor in there without serious frame surgery if at all.

Fit a new SV engine to what you have.. you can find them in breakers or ebay for around the £300 - £500 mark and then sell your bike and buy something else.
