Ferm - Skools,
Can someone give me a quick rundown on what the process is for doing a powerhead swap? I am no master mechanic but I think I could handle it on my own, I am just not sure what I should expect to be doing. I understand that I will be bolting on all the electronics for the ignition and carbs but what else am I required to do? Once she is all put back together am I good to go or is there timing adjustments, carb tweaking, etc? I am still looking for a total replacement but I have found a rebuilt powerhead for 1900, and he doesn't need my block so I could sell that to get some cash back. Seems like a good deal to me.
