 Engine swap on frame I have a 16hp GDLT with a vanguard v-twin, and have access to a 21hp vanguard v-twin for $100 running. Are the motor blocks that same size, and will the 21hp slide right into my frame? Or are they different sizes and require frame modifications?

Re: Engine swap on frame may need to check and make sure shafts are comparible if so you'll be fine, might need a new u-joint to bolt new motor up.

Re: Engine swap on frame i did way back in day when i had a 18 GDLT and swapped motors to a 23HP. The cavitation plate angle changed on different hp motors. You will need to call COCO and ask him if you would need to change your he will know.
Prepare for a bunch of BS with him telling you that you wont see much change switching up

Re: Engine swap on frame As long as the shaft size is the same its a direct swap. If you have a genuine godevil frame look and see where the serial number is and right by it you should see (16-23 BS 6ft).

Re: Engine swap on frame the frames are the same but the angle at which the cav plate is welded on is not.

Re: Engine swap on frame But u can somtimes compensate for that simply by bending the end of the plate up or down

Re: Engine swap on frame I bought a 2011 model 21hp v-twn for $150 running, roughly 100hrs on it. Who do I need to talk to to figure out what angle to move my cavitation plate too. And it s a GD frame....
