You can.
ALTHO, I consider switching to the twist was a bad idea in the long run. It worked great for the daughter..being 13-15 yrs old and didn't have any problems. Till she went to big quads. I think (well I know but she argues with me about it LOL) she has taken soil samples cuz of the twist. She even wised up and went back to the thumb throttle.
When they get "whoopty" they grab the throttle....bing, bang, boom..tires up.
That's my expierience and my opinion. To each his own.

The 50's and 80's are 2 completely different motors so no, cylinders and such will not interchange.
