Scale Model RC Helicopters > 60 size Graupner/Helm Bell 222 Fuse, What Mechanics can fit?

HI Scalers.......
I am in the process of purchasing a second hand Graupner/Heim Bell 222 Fuse which has been painted a great colour and has retracts and servos fitted, but no mechanics.
My question is, as I am only going to be doing a bit of scale flying in this, nothing sporty or 3d etc. What are my best choices for the mechanics that will fit into this bird. bear in mind I dont want to do too much cutting as the fuse has already been painted.
I live in the UK, and dont really want to spend silly amounts of money on a mechanics set that will only be flown occasionaly.
Would appreciate some suggestions on choices of mechanincs and perhaps a suitable engine and muffler that will work well with this model.
Cost is the main concern

Regards

Is it New Heim or old......put another way has it got a large ROUND duct leading to an equally large ROUND hole in the bottom of the fuz?
If so, you need old heim mechanics (4168 i think) or the vario equiv'

If it's a newer fuz....then the bog standard graupner mechanics will do just fine! £240 (if you want hex start) +£30.
Zimmerman pipe and manifold £100.
The down side of these mechanics is you need a motor with an 8mm plain ground shaft....... Rossi, Webra or OS (at a price)

try Martin Briggs www.rotorsport.com
or motors and rotors

It is a new Heim, id enclose a picture but I have no idea of how to do it on here. ( Any advice people please).
I know there is a hole underneath for fitting as the present owner said thats the are you would start it, I dont want to make any new openings on it as it has already been painted very nicely.

Typicall about the motor though, but then Heli's is never a cheap hobby.

Just want to keep everything cheap really as I am not going to fly this model much as its far too nice.

Thanks again for your help if you can help any furtherm its always appreciated.
