A lot of the swingarm pivot hole/width on the engine cases are going to be different from manufacturer. Which will make you have to come up with decent fabricated spacers to work inbetween the swingarm and frame rails, decent amount of work and needs to be spot on. I'd try to stay same brand. On mine, the old kx5 cases fit perfectly in the 09 frame/swingarm, but the cases had to be drilled out a handfull of mm to accept the latemodel swingarm pivot bolt.

Spacers for the engine/swing arm pivot are simple to make if you have access to a lathe too.
