Shawn,
I had no problems with carbie clearance on the frame that I used, which was from my 1978 390 AMX. I purposely did not cut the frame or do any permanent changes when I fitted the 500 engine back the early 80's, also, I have bought a 1978 250 CR frame a year ago to allow me to swap everthing over to it and rebuilt the Husky back on the original frame. I don't have an airbox I just run a large K&N filter open to the elements, although I have looked at building an airbox several times over the years and discounted it as too much work for very little gain. My oil tank is home-made from 1mm steel sheet and a selection of hydrauluc fittings. I will take some picture of the oil tank on my bike and post them tomorrow.
