Engine Swap Easy?

Post by helmetsplitter » Sun Nov 25, 2012 12:18 am

I've have a 305 CL77 with a siezed engine.
I have purchased a '66 Super Hawk engine that appears in good shape.
Is this an easy swap? What kind of problems will arise?
Will the right engine cover interchange with the 77 to make it kick start rearward?

Is the SH an alternative stroke engine or same-at-once like a dream? (will it sound like a 77)

BTW, Can anyone cut a new ign. key?

Head and side case swap with no problem.
What #key do you need?. ....lm

Does the crank send both pistons up at once on the Super Hawk or do they alternate like the 77?

Thanks

Depends on the issue of the CB77 engine.
Look at the points and you will have your answer. ....lm

They're basically the same engine, you will need to remove the electric starter, it will bolt right in.
