So, I have an 88 frame, or part of it at least, and all the rest from 86/87... That's good to hear...

That is a butchered 88/89 frame. Someone cut it up to accept an 87 swingarm. If you want to keep it an 89 frame, you will need to get an 88/89 swingarm or figure out a spacer. The 88/89 swingarm were solid all the way through on the pivot, didn't have the cut out like the arm you have there. If you go with an 86/87 frame you will need the bracket that fits in that notch. The bracket is the rear motor mount.

Also you will need foot pegs, or pro peg nerf bars. OEM pegs are not welded on like the frame you have there.

I'll probably go with an 88/89 frame and get an aftermarket swingarm. A-arms and the rest would be new anyways so, no worries there.

Honestly I like the stock 88/89 swingarms. They are aluminum. Nice and light

Only today I had the chance to check my engine's number. It's an 88, so I will need an 88 frame and swingarm.

Any help will be appreciated.

Your motor will fit in all 86-89 frames only the frames changed

Yeah, I know, but as the frame and the motor I have are from 88, I would like to build it as an 88/89 quad.
