 Here's a link to the place where the seller got the engine. This is exactly what I'll (probably) be getting for my '71 CL70.

http://www.pccmotor.com/li12moenwdru.html

 Does anyone know if the footpegs will work or will I need a spacer (seen that mentioned before)?
 Is that manifold long enough or will I need one of those 45 degree spacers to turn it?
 And...again... will that engine power lights? If so, what regulator will I need?

 *** dang it...new page. Please see the last post on page 2 ***

The Lifan engine should mount up directly to the 70cc Honda frame and foot pegs.
Also, here is a pic of my 70 ct90. I managed to blow up the supposedly bullet proof engine by seizing the oil pump....

 Nope. I gave up on it last year. Real fine human being....

 Been talking to a guy on the LilHondas forum that's done this exact swap on a CL70. He says this seller has 12V bulbs that'll fit my headlight.

 He also uses this harness. Says it takes 15 minutes to swap and has all the right parts, connectors, etc. Makes it almost a plug and play swap.

 He uses the stock exhaust and says "Depending on gearing selection, you can hit 55+mph, but still lift the front end at the crack of the throttle in low & 2nd gear.".
