WTB: engine for my '82 650sc

I'm interested in buying an engine. I think 79-82 are all the same? Let me know

Silver engines have a RC03E-.. engine number.
1981 on engines have a different cylinder head for the CV carbs. Heads are interchangeable however.

1982 SC models have the black engine with RC08E-.. engine number. Only available with CV carb head, however it should be interchangeable with the (silver) piston carb head, too. Some gear ratios are different here. Clutch lever might be at the top instead of the bottom of the clutch cover.
I think I forgot at least one more minor detail.

But basically all 79-82 650SOHC engines will bolt in the same way in any 79-82 frame if this is what you really wanted to know.
