You kind of answered it yourself. You're too broke to build a bike so you want to take the motor out of one of 2 existing bikes and put it in a $500 frame. Buy the frame and sit on it until you can get enough money to finish up the project like you want. Otherwise you might wind up with two 1/2 built bikes laying around.
