Title: 08/09 engine into a 91 - Is it possible
Post by: aussie-gs on June 27, 2011, 07:17:26 PM
Can anyone give advise on fitting a 08/09 engine into a 91 'e' frame . The oil cooler will have to be mounted to frame. Do the carbs off the 91 fit onto the motor and is there a way to fit the mechanical tachometer or does it have to be changed to electronic . Is it best to fit the magneto off the 91 onto the 08/09 engine .

Should be able to change the engine's electrics over to the 91 electrics and yes the carbs will work.
