172 in a 9n?

Cabbage · Jun 30, 2014

Has anyone ever tried putting a 172 motor from an 800 series in a 9n? I"ve got a 9n with a bad motor and saw a 172 local for sale and thought it would be neat. Just wondering get if anyone"s tried or done this before?

With enough money and/or time, most things are possible.

This swap, however, is not practical.

Ditto.

And a 45hp engine with a 20-ish hp rear axle ain't gonna fly if you're doing some real grunt work.

But like Dean said, with enough time and money, anything's possible.

Haha ya I think if it'll handle 100hp flathead v8 it'll manage the little increase to the 172. I just wondered how far apart the bellhousing and front support bolts are. Obviously it's not practical engine swaps rarely are. It'd be more of a conversation piece.
