450 is a 1975 - DT250 if you dont need it get onto freaky he has a use for them.

3J5 ?  is that  a yamaha orare you misreading it ? unless its a late model DT or one of them 79 DT 400 F plonkers
Dt1F is from a DT2 1972 series

450 prefix can also be '74 DT250 (and maybe twin shock '76?). The actual serial number tells you which year, but I can't remember what the change-over number is.
Other way to tell is the cylinder head - '74 has parallel fins, '75 has radial fins.

Speed and Sport shows no matches for 3J5 or 3O5.
305 prefix is LT2, which you wouldn't mistake for a 400cc engine!

Most barrels will have the capacity cast into them, which would help.

Pics?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

1974 cut off is prior to the 20000 numbers so its late 75 build

:DT250B Year: 1975 Start Engine#: 450-200101 +
