350/400 top end switch
« on: December 13, 2021, 10:07:26 AM »
anybody know if it's possible to refit the 350f engine with a 400f top end?  I was going to replace the entire engine but found problems with the lower end of the 400f engine.  Appreciate any input.

I am pretty sure you can't just swap top ends.  Oils galleys don't line up or something along those lines.  I would be easier to just fix the 400f lower end.  Also, the 400f has an extra gear  ;)
