ok this is gonna be cool roostius'....but how in the hell do you get a complete 500 engine in a 250 frame without cutting the cradle out? i couldn't get my engine passed the engine mounts without removing the head?
bummer i thought i was doing something wrong...i can get my 500 in the 450 frame like butter complete even with the exhaust flange on! On my gen 3 i still have a hard time muscling it in there because of the head stay block. Anyways i'm pumped to see how this goes...

Roost,I just noticed that my pics of when I had the jack in place are gone off the thread. Sorry, just as I said in the PM and as Bob quoted....go slow!
Mik i had saved them back when i was going to hack my other frame, thanks for the help.
I'll go slow, and if it breaks i'll fix it.
If shit never broke i'd be outta business!

Jack Schitt - ??????????????
I am working on a 2003 cr250 to 500 conversion and found this about jacking the frame,my question is I have done some searching and I saw one person jack from where the swingarm bolts in, to the down tubes and spread that way(horizontal),but in this post it sounds like people are jacking from the top down to the lower tubes and spreading that way(vertical), (but I could be wrong as no pics and my simple mind has trouble comprehending without pics) so which is the best way? which gives the best clearence? any help would be greatly appreciated as I am interested in this metheod,compared to cutting the cradle! Thanks mocr13
