I swapped in a 67 1600 Cortina engine and because I didn't have any of the Bobcat parts, I drilled the automotive flywheel to accept the drive for the pump, used the standard exhaust manifold, and made a radiator that mounded above the engine. I found that the rotation of the engine is opposite to that of the Wisconson, so I had to match the rotation of the pump to the rotation of the engine. I also needed to find a new set of 743 pipes that connect from the pumps to the drive motors, but couldn't find any. As a result, my forward and aft controls are backward. For me, this is not a problem, but an experienced Bobcat operator will end up in the funny farm if they don't put in the proper pipes. I did this swap in 1984, and am still using the machine today.
