Engine swap F2/F3 race project

Hey All,
Well pulled the engine out of my 98 F3 tonight. The engine I had in it was a F2 block, which I built in 2002. had it running with ram air, falicon crank, 1mm over sized pistons, full exhaust, cams, and all the other goodies like valve work and milling the head.
Simple plan, put the F3 (stock)engine back in the bike, and build a complete other racer/street bike out of all the stuff I already have.
This way I have two bikes, one bone stock, and the other complete race. One for my wife, the other for me. Anyway, My current project is to degree the cams on the F2 race block, so If any one has done this before any input this would be great. Not much info out there on bikes
Plan on running the dyna2000 ingnition module to play with the ignition timing after I get the cams deg.
The F3 intake worked great on the F2 block/head. Planning to build the racer more like a F3, other than block, and frame. Really would like to shed the steel frame, it weighs like 40 lbs without the swing arm.

Working on the stock block. Cleaned the piston tops, and valves on the head. Bought a few parts on e-bay, machined some frame to engine spacers out of alum. Saving a total weight of 1/2 a pound lol. Hope to have the head on the block with cams in very soon!!
Once the stock bike is back together I can start working on putting together the other bike.

Noticed a def. between the rear susp shackle from 95-98.
anyone else swap rear suspension shackles off a F3, what year?

All I need now for the race bike is forks, front wheel and rotors.
