MANY GP ENGINES HAVE FOUND THEIR WAY IN TO SX200 FRAMES THEY STAMPED SX BUT THEY ARE NOT SX ENGINES AS THE COMPONENTS ARE DIFFERENT IE: THE BARRELS AND THE CLUTCH GEARBOX ETC ASSEMBLY BUT THEY DO THE JOB THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IF YOU WANT IT 100% THEN CHECK THE DOCUMENTS AGAINST THE FRAME AND ENGINE NUMBERS YOU ARE VERY UNLIKELY TO GET A PERFECT MATCH THESE DAYS AS THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF MIXING AND MATCHING OVER THE YEARS THE ONLY ONE YOU CAN BE SURE OF IS THE SPANISH RANGE OF LAMBRETTAS THE FRAME AND ENGINE NUMBERS ALWAYS CAME MATCHED AS A PAIR BUT EVEN NOW IT IS HARD TO GET THE RIGHT COMBINATION SO IF YOU DO GET ONE GRAB IT IS NICE TO HAVE.. BUT AS SAID CHECK EVERY DOCUMENT AND NUMBER
