I had a little time to give some thought about cutting that hole bigger and a regular jigsaw with some good Bosch metal blades did the trick quite well. I just have a tiny bit of touch up with the angle grinder and I'll be all set after I red till the bolt holes. I did get an email from another board member from a different thread that did a similar swap in a different machine. He said a local machine shop did his for about $200. I thought about going that route too, but really I don't want to throw another $200 at this machine because I'm already in to it a bit more than its worth. Just hoping this used engine works well when this job is done. I've got the day off tomorrow, so should be able to get a bunch done on it. Biggest problem I've got now is that the guy I bought the engine from did not send me the oil pan gasket he promised. I ordered one from someone else today just to make sure I've got one on the way, but I don't see getting it before the weekend. I'll update more once I dive in to it some more.</p></blockquote><p></p>
