16 magnum

[Ffarmer 2]

I have a 16 Magnum that will not fit a engine mount on a C 165.

Can I swap oil pans with a k341 that is in the C 165.

Welcome to RS

 

You could swap oil pans  If teh magnum has the low oil switch you will lose that functionality and you may have to use some JB weld to block off a notch in the magnum block.  But it might be easier to do away with the isolation (cradle) mounting plate and bolt the engine directly to the frame.(Does you magnum have 2 threaded holes in the bottom of the pan on the PTO side?)  You would have to get a lower PTO mounting bracket, but that would be easy from several vendors here.

Can not read the serial - spec  number on the M 16. Does not appear to have an oils switch and from your pics it looks doable. 

The K341 was run with a loose head gasket and now smokes a bit . Have not removed head for inspection , may be valve guides as it runs good with no loss of power.

Make sure you measure the oil dipper...I seem to recall some engines had to use shorter dippers to clear the oil pan but I am not sure about that

Can I ask just where in the frekin' world you came up with a M16? I want it, now!

I thought you and others would understand what I meant, but now that you are off topic my preference is a M14.

Bought it in Tidewater , Va........... everything  has a price.

I am about 30 miles from you. You want to sell it?

I am not 30 miles from San Francisco , and on selling not really , want to put it on my C 165.
