Default Starting project wtf

It's what most of you will be doing while you read this but I wanted to do this project forever and i can get everything for it for cheap. So i got my 2007 250ex and I rode the hell out of it, today i went to change the oil and found that the block is stripped. So I've been wondering for a while, Does a 2007 300ex have the same frame as me because if it does I'm going to get that the swing arm and mount it on my bike then im going to take out mt ragedy motor( even though shes served me well) and plop a small street bike motor in it i can get them for cheap....So I just wanted to see what advice and jokes i can get. If all goes well I'll have one nasty 250ex.

So if anyone knows if the 300ex swing arm will fit please tell me, if not I'll make my own
Heres me Riding it

they are completely different, the 250 has a drive shaft that is housed in it, the 300 uses a chain, so it doesnt have any of that. and to use it u would have to somehow swap the motor to chain drive, and get final drive ratios and shock leverage ratios and lengths.... i dont think u under stand how much work it would be haha, its deffinally not a bolt up project. but then, when arent they?? haha

just get that how retapped and keep the ole 250 the same, and ge out and buy something that will be ridable lol, a street bike motor would just over heat from not moving at 60 the whole time like it would normally lol
