Anther alternative is to consider buying an engine with the external reverse gearbox--you'd have to buy the cable and shifter, but it's a nice feature to have.

I bought a used BMI engine/swingarm delivered for 500$, moved the axle and tires over, had it running in a few hours. I later bought a engine only (from allbmi, alternate ebay name for stevebmi, same as BMI) really cheap, have it running in the old swingarm as my spare. so 2 for 2... bought lots of other stuff from bmi as well.
I've done some of the HF $99 on other yerfs (3203), they work fine on them. I'm more of a "replacer", not a "fabber" tho...
