it would be tight! i bet if you pulled the rockers it could! why paint the frame man? have it powder coated it will be a much stronger finish and look just as good if not better! you are goign to have to unblot the motor from the trans though to get it out

On my 02 dwg, I had plenty of room to yank it out... heads and all. 'Course.. you'll have to strip it of everything else... tank, carb, outer & inner primary's, most importantly, the battery box, starter, etc. For myself, I didn't try to take the trans and motor out still together.. but I think that too can be done. Once you get the battery box out of the way, you will have all kinds of room in there.

Edit: The motor is pretty freaking heavy by the way. Don't let it's "huggable" size fool you.
