Hello all,
I have the guts from a 1975 447 motor but the case has unfortunately been tended to at some point by a chimpanzee. All four of the locating pins for the crank bearings on the upper case have been smashed in because the bearings weren't lined up properly when the halves were assembled. I would consider this case a lost cause due to cost of repair. Fortunately, a very kind gentleman has offered to send me a replacement case at the cost of shipping. The heavens appear to have smiled upon me this day.
What I need to know is this: Will the internals from a 1975 XS-B case (447-124363) directly fit a 1981-82 XS-J case (5V4-006696)? If not, What parts would need to be "updated" to fit the 80's case? barring that, what modifications would need to be done to ensure fitment?
Best, -M
