Yes and no.

The IT490 engine will bolt straight in with no problems.

The IT petrol tank will fit, but not sure if seat brackets line up with the frame bolt holes. You could use the YZ seat, but then you would have to use YZ side covers.

IT490 blue side covers will not fit unless mounts are cut and welded to fit.

Suspension will fit without any dramas.

Not sure about airbox. IT and YZ airboxes appear slightly different, but it would not take much to get it to fit. In guessing, I would say yes it would fit.

YZ frame doesnt have the curved bar at the back for the rear fender mount.

83' YZ490 frames are known to be a bit weak and flex a fair bit. Yamaha skimped on tube thickness to save weight in 83', and some frames even bend at the steering head, creating a chopper style effect.

I dont know if the IT490 frame suffered this same problem.

Exhaust pipe will fit.

Overal it is a do-able replacement.
