[QUOTE="imtools, post: 117725, member: 10415"] Regarding engine swaps in 600 series, I put a VW Beetle air-cooled motor in mine years ago. It stuck out the back because it wouldn't fit between the housings. I had a Baja header system on it and I drove the hydraulic pump off the back of the motor. Since the crank was running front to back and the input to the machine was side to side, I also used the transaxle and drove the cross-shaft from the axle flanges with V-belts. Since the reduction of the final drive would have made it too slow, I locked one side, driving off the other, which turned the differential into a speed doubler. Worked for quite a while until the differential locked up; even with proper lubrication, the differential isn't meany to see that much action. Wish I had pictures to show. Eventually sold it on eBay to a guy from Connecticutt who siad he was going to put a VW diesel in it. [/QUOTE]
