Is it a middle-period Royal Enfield WD/CO frame ?  If so, probably quite sought-after by somebody but not a good basis for a conversion as even with the standard engine, they had a habit of breaking front down tubes.

Good call on the Royal Enfield type frame.
A bigger/closeup view may also show if its prewar or postwar also, since they are all quite similar. Prewar and military is becoming quite collectable - rideable too, if not in a hurry.
