Diy frame swap help

I found a f2 with f3 plastics and wheels. I want to swap the current salvage frame with a frame with a clean title. How hard is it to swap everything over? Do i need any special tools or equipment? I plan to do this in my backyard.

Also can the motor be lifted out by hand or do i need some type of a hoist. I only have experience working on cars.

motor comes out the bottom, so you actually lift the bike off the motor

f2-f3 is a pretty straight forward swap. The radiator mounts will be different, so you'll have to make your own with wire coat hangers.

f2/f3.............why would you care between a salvage and clean title? Doesn't really seem worth the swap to me, unless you don't have the salvage inspection on it and don't wanna get everything back to stock!
