Guys,
I have a tired KT I in my 682 that I'm refurbishing. I've been watching for a Magnum motor to repower. I have seen a lot of talk on here about folks who have changed in the M18 in place of the KT engines. However an M20 has come up locally for a good price. I would really like to put that in my Cubbie in place of the KT, but I want to know what I'm in for. I already understand that I'm going to have to make some adaptions in the electrical system. What I'm concerned about is the exhaust manifold and especially the PTO. Do I need a different PTO than the one that is on my KT motor? From going through the parts look up it appears that they have a different one for that engine. If I need a different one, how hard are they to come by used?
Also, is there any problem items that I should look for on this motor when I go to look at it and hear it run? The current owner is going to have it set up to start and run. Any info or opinions are much appreciated!
