I've just had a price on a water pump for my 89 gpx250.
For not very much more I can get a complete engine from a 2000ish zzr250.
My question is; will it fit? I know they are basically the same engine, but will it bolt straight into my frame - or would I need to modify something?
i had a look around for mine, 500-800 is an average price for a decent condition 20-40K engine, 900 bucks gives you a top notch engine in great condition.
but yes... id say aim at 600-700 bucks or whatvers in good condition.

What was the price on the water pump
The water pump is $330 on its own, cam chain $80, rings $121, then gaskets and everything brings it to nearly $700 and then I have to put it together. This was 'supposed' to be a cheap bike to get me through my L's and I'll be on my P's before I even get to ride it if I don't get a move on.

No. Its out of the bike and sitting on a shelf. I would hazard a guess that the engine wasn't the reason it was scrapped. I saw some of the plastics, esp. the tail.
