Engine swap

[Merchman]

will a 23hp drop in to replace the 18hp in my 1994 max iv? Or what's needed to make the swap?

you may need a longer belt.
check the distance from the center of the shaft to the base plate on both engines.

thank you for the info. Still waiting for it to get here. Should drop in just have to get new exhaust and muffler to fit it. Not sure till I can start working on it what ill have to do.
