Default KX 500 motor in my Tecate 4

I recently bought the Tecate 4 as a rolling chassis. It came with a complete quadracer 250 motor. I want to keep it all Kawasaki and put either a KX 500 or KLX 650 motor in. Anybody who has any leads on these swaps or websites would be gladley apprciated. Oh and the quadracer motor is for sale

It's a 1988 quadracer motor. Has a brand new piston in it. I was told the rest of the motor was rebuilt BUT I don't have reciept's to prove. As for the price $600 canadian(you do the math)for the complete motor electrics and carb.

it will probably shake real bad in a quad frame... look into getting the motor counter balanced to cut down the vibration
