Have you any history on the secondhand lump? turn it over bay hand and check the timing, do a compression test if possible, actually changing the engine is fairly straight forward and can be managed singlehandedly, although a mate helping is a benefit.
it's wise to clean all the electrical connections whilst your there as they aren't the best quality. balancing carbs is easy if you have the right kit and the SV reacts well to it, on that front if you add 4-5 inches of rubber tube (seal the end with a bolt) to the front vacuum takeoff, it makes access a lot easier . Cheers Mark.
