Will a 3XW motor fit in a 3CV frame?

[Idiotseekingvillage]

Hi I've newly acquired an 89 3CV but the end of the casings have been damaged. I'm not having much success in finding an alternative 3CV motor here in Blighty but 3XW motors are pretty common. Will the 3XW motor fit in the 3CV frame? Is it an easy swap? I would want to use all the 3CV ancillaries carbs wiring etc. Thanks

I have a 3CV motor that could be of use to you, 52k on the gauges, no nothing more about it than that.

Ran fine when I rode it home in July

PM me if interested.

Thanks but I've snagged another.
