Default Installing yz426 in 400ex frame

I want to know if it is possible to put a yz426 motor in a 400ex frame, and if it would be fast or not. Iv been thinking about it for a while what do you guys think about this?

A guy around here did it, I saw it in the paper shop, for sale for 3500. I think it would be fairly easy, one of my friends threw one into a 250r frame a while back I think.

yeah, it is possible, but i no longer think its worth the time and money. For close to, if not less cash, you could get a new yfz450 or 450r
Both of which have better handling characteristics
