If your a gear head then yea. You will probably need to reweld the frame to be stronger. You will definetly have to weld new engine mounts. I own an R6 and i think the engine will definetly fit in the raptor frame. Only downside is you will never get outta 2nd gear. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
