Anyone have experience with using a '79 DT 175 engine in a '76 chassis, expansion chamber clearance at the fuel tank might get weird,had the bike but no engine for 10 years or better, decided to try this spare '79 engine I have, one of my favorite chassis combined with my favorite engines, think I'm building my dream bike, hope so, maybe a nightmare IDK

Engine should bolt right in... Probably would need to use the 76 exhaust?

Thanks for the reply, it does have the same engine mounts, I have it in the frame now doing a mock up , checking clearances and all, was looking at a pipe for the 76 on e bay , have a 79 pipe on it now, it fits ok except the tank hits , will look into linking a photo

Looks like you have a 1975 DT175 frame there.
Pipe is a tight fit!

If I have a pipe, it must be in storage. I will try to get over there in the next few days.
