Looking at swapping out 27 hp Kohler to a big block. What options are there that will mount up? Do they have same bolt pattern? Any other considerations?

Thanks in advance

Bout swap mine to a 36 after duck season ain’t looked far into it yet

Yes, should be the same bolt pattern.
May have to make the bolt holes bigger but im not 100%.
Just be sure you get the correct output shaft on the 36.

Swapped out my kohler for the kawasaki FX1000V last year and dont regret it one bit. The kawasaki has a lot of power. Bolt pattern was the same, just had to drill the holes out as the kawasaki mounts with 3/8 bolts. Only thing you have to figure out is the exhaust and throttle which isnt bad at all. If you have any questions get a hold of banded-mallard he knows a lot about these motors and helped me out a lot.

I have a 25 Kohler efi on my prodrive now and a used 36 engine from a prodrive thinking bout swapping . What y’all think bout going from a efi to a carb motor ? That’s really only hold up dealing with it in winter time hunting. Just looking for opinions

West Tn not like gets extreme cold like way up north . I know had carbed ones long time , figure the extra power from big block be a plus anyway over the efi Kohler . Least can get a lot more aftermarket parts also don’t plan I running stock motor anyway when I swap it

True , and If weathers like last year ain’t worry bout weather less then 60 degrees anyway
