[BFix] replacing 170 with a 200?

[TJ Essenmacher]

The three biggest reasons for the 200 upgrade is easy/quick/cheap, I can pick up the motor for 125 bucks, and I was told "it's a bolt in", you know how those go. I was just checking if the bell housing and flywheel off of the 170 would fit the 200. I don't want to spend too much but if I can get a better motor for the summer I'ld do it.

  If you want a IL6 why not go 250 like the Maverick (and others I'm sure) had in them. I have an old parts EB out behind my Dad's barn with a 250 in it. Looks like it fit right in with no problems. It's a 3speed tho.

  I have been told that a 200 is a decent improvement from the 170. I have the opportunity to buy one cheap, my question is was will it take to  convert? the 200 is an auto ant the 170 is 3spd. I'm stil gathering parts for the 351 upgrade but if this is quik and cheap enough it'll work until my daughter gets out of college.

  Thanks,

  Tim
