If you have a good, running engine in your bike then what's your motivation to finish the rebuild on the original engine? ;) 

I know not being able to ride the bike has always been a big motivating factor in getting my ass out in the garage to finish the engine!

I agree with Mark.  The work it would require to make that engine work in your frame would not be worth it, especially if it's just a temporary solution.
