Hardtail Frame

I am going to look at a hardtail frame for a Sportster, the one for sale had a 98 Sportster motor in it. Will a 73 Sportster fit, with or without modifications?

Anything will fit if you throw enough money at it. The '73 engine will not bolt into the '98 frame.

Your right about that Chris, the owner wants it on the cheap tho:) I appreciate your advice panic, I already told him it would be worth more with original title and frame, thanks for the sound advice.
