76 SOHC motor into 80 frame??

[750chop]

Hey guys my first thread. Anyhow my 1980 750k hardtail chop decided to seize up. When i first got it the oil was full of metal and i knew it wouldnt last long (about 5 miles then seized). I have tried to find a dohc motor thats in good shape but have not been able to for my price range or it has 300 dollars shipping attached. I have a lead on a 1976 SOHC fully wired motor with good compression that came off a running bike fairly cheap locally. Now my big question is do they bolt up the same and will it fit? I woudnt be able to get any big fabricating done to make it fit. Most I could do is to get some adapters to fit the newer engine mounts (if thats possible). Please help on this guys as the motor wont be forsale long. Thanks

Not a 100% bolt in. you would also have to mount up the oil tank and then make lines to fit. Far easier just to find a dohc motor or rebuild the one you have.

DD I think my motor is to far gone and I couldn't source one locally. I searched high and low. The motor I found is 400 dollars while I couldn't find any decent dohc for less than 6 to 800. My mechanic has had it for over a month and has given up on trying to one.
