When I had my engine turbocharged, Don Fairchild removed the whole engine pack (V-drive). With a helper, the entire engine was out in 2hrs. He had to put it into place numerous times to fit the turbo, and was relatively easy compared to a T-drive. But-of course a T drive has unlimited engine/transmission combos compared to the Vdrive with the about 6 engines and 4 transmissions available (the transmission with the most versatility is the V730).


If you are changing the engine/transmission, I would do a refresh overhaul and at least install new rings and bearings. Good Luck, TomC
