OK, with a torch cut the frame in half and re-weld around the motor...

Hey! could work.... Hopefully someone will have a better suggestion.

to fit the motor back into the frame now but am having trouble getting it back
in! I have a chain block and a couple of slings and have tried several different
ways - have had the bottom bolt at the rear in and tried to swing the front up -
no way! various other methods but havent been able to fit it - it fouls on the
protrusion at the rear of the crank case . Does anybody know the best method to
be used?
