For sure Paul, come to Ricks this Summer and bring a Coyote for the races.
I picked up a mint 76 KV75 on the way home from "Weekend at Neds" and the guy who had it, has a set up that resembles RBs shelved bikes in the old railroad terminal.
He must have had 50 minis there. 15-20 different brands, a bunch I never heard of before.
Some Hondas, Suzukis, Yammys Kaws and a few European and other Asian ones to boot.
needless to say, I was impressed.
He had 3 near mint Coyotes and about 10-12 parts bikes too.

When putting a H-engine into the S-frame, the only suggested improvent to the frame would be fit a beefier swingarm and better, stiffer mount for the swingarm pivot. A 100/80 frontire will make the frontend twichy at over 160 KPH if no fairing is fitted for added downforce at speed.
Better brakes would be a smart upgrade.
