Default Swap idea

I know half of you are gonna think I'm stupid but, I was thinking about putting a 125cc dirtbike engine in my pocketbike just for shits and giggles. I have almost $400 set aside for the project. I was wondering where on that budget could I get a decent 125cc engine and tranny to swap in, if it is at all possible. I know this forum's mostly for street bikes but hopefully someone might have an answer for me. Thanks.

I think we have a freshly built 125cc motor at R&R Performance that the customer more less abandoned. I think it's out of an older Suzuki.

How much? I don't think I can spend all 400, I have someone to do the welding but I know theres going to be litttle things I have to modify, mainly gear shift because I don't have a fucking clue how I'm gonna reach it with my legs crunched up. Plus I need to run the lines for the clutch and somehow I'm gonna have to get better brakes cause even right now they lack power. I really dunno how much these engines cost though so I really don't wanna be lowballing, if the price is like 500 then dont worry about it I'm sure I can find one somewhere.

Score, cause I don't know shit. The person who's welding for me is in cali for a week or two so once he gets back I'll start figuring it out, in the meantime I gotta get an engine and start seeing how much space I have to work with.
