You'll need to provide some more information.

Post war James came in numerous sizes from 98cc to 248cc (might even have been a 350 though I've never seen one). Early ones used Villiers engines later ones used AMC engines. So at the very least you'll need to figure out roughly what size and era. The different size engines are roughly interchangeable (eg you can replace a 150 with a 197). The Villiers and AMC units are sort of interchangeable but not without some degree of work.

Post a pic of the frame and see who cna identify it.
