    1977 6x6 engine swap

    I have a 1977 6x6 with a 16HP Tecumseh. I was thinking about upgrading the motor at some point so I have a little more power.
    What would be a good replacement motor that wont require a lot of modifications?
    I thought they made a 20 or 24 HP for the T base model.

    Thanks

    Not sure there's anything pre made out there but a little time and a piece of plate should get you where you want to go

    Donverv, are you asking about a clutch that's tapered or non-tapered? The 2 strokes are tapered.
