1978-81 DT175, MX175, or DT125 will bolt right in... would need the carb from the new engine and carb won't fit the IT airbox hose... exhaust should bolt right up. IT ignition could be used. Skid plate might not fit clutch side without trimming. You'd need to use engine sprocket and spacer from IT (520 chain) or swap to DT rear sprocket (428 chain) from above bikes which will bolt right up to your IT hub.

The above engines will also have tach cable drives and oil pumps which you'd have to cap (tach) and remove (pump).

What's wrong with the IT engine? Might be easier and cheaper to fix IT engine... and would have a LOT more power.

(A couple of years of YZ125 engine would also fit but those are really hard to find in decent shape. There are a lot of that era YZ125's running around with the DT175 engine.)
1963 YG1-T, 1965 MG1-T, Allstate 250, 1970 CT1b, 1971 R5, 1973 AT3MX, 1974 TS400L, 1975 RD350, 1976 DT175C, 1976 Husqvarna 250CR, 1981 DT175G, 1988 DT50, 1990 "Super" DT50, 1991 RT180, 2017 XT250
