I wouldn't.

If go EFT I6, then go later like EL Ticky, or why not go AU or BA?

Is the current 250 dead? If not, leave it until you get a clevo.

Never seen it done. Should be able to use X-flow engine mounts tho.

Should go good until you replace it with a V8 boat anchor.

If it's not gonna cost much for the parts, you may as well do it, will certainly be better then a stock 250, though X-flows do sound pretty cool. If it's an early XB you have a lot more options with engine modifications too.

'OR' being the important word in that sentence :P
