I had bought a 1970 DT1E 250 a few years back and it has sat in my garage since I finally have the time to work on it. The Motor has not run since the late 80's, my thoughts were to remove the old motor and put on something newer, that would have more parts readily available. Any ideas or suggestions as to what motor might fit on this frame? Having to weld motor mounds is not out of the question… I am new to this stuff and seek assistance, please and thank you

What exactly do you mean by "sort out the original one"?

:offtopic: See what happens when you let us Americanos in? Y'all need a glossary for newbies full of endearing terms like "knackered", "bodged", "sort out", "thin on the ground", "spanner", "tickover", to name a few.
