putting an HP2S engine in would not be a cost effective repair you will need the ECU which is gonna be pricey.

Mongrel is a non-numbers matching engine case_trans case..
You Can buy new cases with Blank VIN# stamping pads & 'Restore the Vehicle'..
Resale price should be relative to a bike whose cases were never apart.
Numbers Matching Cases Rule in All Areas of Classic Vehicles.. it is or it ain't.
The First 1977 BMW R100RS into the USA build#0000001 was tossed away on Storm King Mountain near West Point by one of the Butler & Smith roadrace guys .. during a 'Test Session' .. lots of blank number pads on it now .. adds to the Mystique .
Have the Crank & Flywheel lightened & balanced, lite rods & pistons done while the 'Cases Were Updated' .. the discussion over the cases being apart vanishes .. engine & trans have been 'Race Refined' .. you've a high dollar build with paperwork collect-ability.. and those number less cases are Special Order Items.
If she were my daughter .. wait .. DOHC motor for an 'Ultimate Kitted 1100s SmileWavy
Mongrel you say?
