The engine # is consistent with a K0, can't help re: title date and frame though. Is the frame a modified frame with headstock original? There should be a number stamped there as well and it should be within the same general range as the engine though not matching.

Unless this is a Wisconsin title you're talking about then the title is for the frame and has nothing to do with the engine.

Like Bob said, that's a K0 engine number, but the frame number is what determines the model year for the bike and title.

Remove that engine, sell it for a tidy sum, find a mid-production K2, 3,4,5, etc and install it.  A K0 engine has no business in a chop.
