Any way we can make this thread a better reference is an excellent idea. I resized the images in the first few post so they didn't just load as massive 4k images within the thread, but it definitely does reduce the visible details.

It all comes down to the mounting points. I lucked out in that X-Moto literally copied the KTM style of tank mounting. Spent a few hours on Acerbis's website looking at installation manuals and found one that I felt was super close. It was a gamble for sure, but worked out. Check with who ever you decide to buy the tank from and make sure they take returns. Worst case, send it back and remount the stock tank.
Today's Update:
The stock motor is out. It was way less work than I anticipated. The only problem on the horizon I can see is that rear mount bracket for the original engine requires the removal of the swingarm bolt. Not really a problem, I guess, I've just never done it before so I've got some reading to do.
Quick measurements on the NC250 front mount points, they will fit between the
ears welded on the frame. The same for the rear mount point which allows the swingarm bolt to pass through it.
I'll get started on the swingarm tomorrow after work. Here are some pictures of the progress so far.
