In an ongoing effort to help a friend with a tired B18 motor I've looking for a replacement. I may have found him one - a short block.

I searched the archives and found sdewolfe's post:

AQ130A: Used with the 100 and 250 series drive, ran 9.5:1 compression ratio and used Stromberg carbs. Rated at 130 hp.

AQ130B: Same as above but ran 8.4:1 compression ratio. Rated at 115 hp.

AQ130C: Used with the 250 and 270 series drive, ran 9.5:1 compression ratio and used Solex 44PA1 carbs. Rated at 130 hp.

AQ130D: Used with the 280 series drive, ran 9.0:1 compression ratio and used Solex 44PA2 carbs. Rated at 130 hp.

So, what are the reasons not to use a Penta engine in a road car?
Change the cam; maybe change the front cover; find a head
Are there any "block specific" differences that make this a fools errand?

thanks
