Im not all that sure but from what i understand is it would be basically like doing a PI swap in a way. You would have to switch out the heads etc to the 4v or 3v ones. If you were to do this it would probably be alot better if you just went to a 4v? Im pretty sure you would just use your old engine for it.


Dont quote me on this...

well i plan on dropping in a whole 3v motor, not just a head/intake swap. i'd like to go 4v but they are pretty costly motors, compared to some of the complete 3v motors on karkraft.com

the heads alone will NOT line up. the cooling holes dont line up, or something like that.

there is a way to put the top end of a 3v on our motors, loganmotorsports.com sells a kit or something like that, has a writeup about it i think
