Will this frame work?...

what size is the seat tube? if it is 19" or bigger, you should have enough room. (this is not the same with every make and model of bike). i have a 19'' frame and the same set up you are going with. i also have the SBP HD airfilter, so i had to cut like a half inch off the front mount base or my motor to fit that.
but if you dont use that or have more room then me, you should be ok.. get some sizes up, and ill take some pics of how my setup fits for you.

23" is huge....if that's so, you could nearly fit a V-8 in that bike! In all seriousness though, you should have no problem mounting an engine on that bike. The shifter kit may be a little tight however, just judging by the pic.
Also you might think about the wheelset that's on that bike, you really should have heavier duty wheels and a non-radial laced front wheel as well. Just don't want ya getting hurt due to lack of braking power and folded rims.
EDIT: sorry for my bad advice and info here, please disregard. By the way, nice bike and welcome to the forum

it should fit.. i put a standard kit on a 21 inch frame, and i almost could fit another one above it..
this is a pic of the bike. it has NO shift kit, but plenty of room for one.
the kit will only make your motor sit a bit higher in the frame. well whats what it did to mine.. but you should have room to spare. good luck, and nice bike choice
should be a quick ride.
