Could you put a 250R engine in a 2000 400EX chassis?

I own a 2000 400EX but would much rather have a 250R. I have several options. I could trade for an R or sale my EX and then buy one. Or I could just take out my existing thumper engine and put a 250R engine in its place. Is this a better way to go? Would there be room for the radiator? Would this be a smarter thing to do than get a 10+ year old 250R. I mean the chassis is newer on the EX and my be even better right? But I dont know, If anyone has any suggestions or comments to any of my questions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

U CAN put ANY motor in ANY frame if U just have the patience and money to do so I myself say if U want to go for it but the 250r does sit lower then the ex which really helps on a mx track well hope this helps.
