Are the motors interchangeable?
Are the motors interchangeable?
Another noobie question. I have a 61 greenbrier with a 145 FC motor. Can you swap any covair motor "other than the turbo" in a Greenbrier? Thank you

You can swap any motor including the turbo into the FC. You need to use the FC mounts and sheet metal. If you want to use a 4 carb 140 or a turbo, modifications to engine cover height (turbo) or custom air cleaners (140/4 carb) are needed. All 2 carb motors can be used directly as long as you use the Fc specific sheet metal etc.
