Re: replacement engine for prodrive Call PD.........and save your lunch money...
 Or just buy used 36 for $5K and sell your L/U. Good luck my friend. _________________ 20 x 54 with 9/16 bottom powered by Twin BLACK CHICKS with FPR The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.

Re: replacement engine for prodrive I replaced the a powerhead on a 35 gdsd and I believe it was about 2k. That was for everything though...muffler, air filter, etc, complete powerhead. Just call KP and talk it over with him.

Re: replacement engine for prodrive I talked to kp the other day about swapping powerheads between my 32 and 27. He said its very simple, same mounting bracket and everything. Just four bolts and the engine lifts right off, set the other one its place. Don't know on the 36, but would assume they're all the same. Just give them a call, they're very helpfull.

Re: replacement engine for prodrive Hey guys. I was actually thinking of doing the same thing to my GD35. Instead of spending 5500 on a new motor and lower unit, I figured i could spend 2500 and do it myself. Also is it special marine engine, or would a regular horizontal from northern tool work? Could this be done as an in-house project or should I let a mechanic do it. Figured it would be a fun project.
Also I'm kinda new to this sight and still figuring out the lingo. Who is KP and Peck. This is a pro drive thread so are they pro drive people?? Thanks |

Re: replacement engine for prodrive Thanks for the input guys. I just cant see rebuilding an old motor again. Plus some extra horses never hurt.

Re: replacement engine for prodrive call around to Gecker, EVT, BPS and find out where they get motors from.
THEY WILL KNOW THE BEST PLACE TO GET REPLACEMENT MOTORS... _________________ 20 x 54 with 9/16 bottom powered by Twin BLACK CHICKS with FPR The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.
