It probably would fit OK, but you'd certainly need a different engine frame etc.
A friend of mine put one in an ST Locost, it went very well (he's sold it now) but it was a lot more work than fitting a blade engine, getting
custom bits made up instead of buying off the shelf (exhaust etc), and he ended up dry sumping it as the ZX12 doesnt seem to like track use without
one.

ZX-12
I'm building a indy-ZX-12  
You can ask MK to make a new cradle, mind the front mountings, 2001 engine has mountings that are futher apart then a 2002> engine.
The choise: 120 bhp or 180 bhp, hmmm very difficult.
Succes
