Answer 1

I had a couple of these in the 1980's. Heavy and underpowered. The DT400 motor fits frame. If you have the generator you could probably fit some of the air cooled YZ motocross,250,360,400, 490 parts or the IT enduro's and swap out generator so you have heavier flywheel, lights and slightly different ignition curve (otherwise its going to be difficult to ride on street)
Very doubtful you'll get a good engine. If all you have is a frame and title look for a single cylinder motor that may fit and modify frame.
If you have engine you can always rebuild it.
E-bay is probably your only hope
