Different bikes... so not easy and why bother?! but yes, you can run the engines in other frames, but the MR is more like the 75/76 CR and the MT is more like a 73/74 CR from my memory... |

There is performance to be gained by swapping a CR250 top end onto the MT250 lower. I don't think the MR will swap. You will need the 1973-74 cylinder, head,piston, intake, carb & exhaust. All of these parts are highly desireable for Vintage MX racers so none are usually inexpensive. ~JM~ |

If you're just tinkering around and don't have some special project in mind, Don't Convert: Unless you have a problem with the existing bike and you can't get replacements for the right price or at all. If you want a CR, it will be cheaper and better to get a CR. If it's a unique project you want, then go for it! My vote would be to go the OEM (or clone) route. Probably cheaper and easier to sell if the day comes. nola_fiddy 1979 cr125r |
