My big 40 finally quit me. Red seal f163.

I've got a freshly rebuilt f135 that was going to go into an old forklift I have...

Question is: will the 135 ci red seal work in the big 40?

Did some quick checking and found that the F163 puts out about 20 HP at 1500 rpm.  162 Cu In with a 7.4:1 compression ratio.  The 135 is 124 Cu In with a 6.07:1 compression ratio.  Less horsepower, I'm guessing about 10.  The Continental F series used a common block  If the forklift is a Clark, they had oddball blocks and they are set up for a hydraulic pump.  The F163 probably has an updraft carb and governor.  "If" the blocks measure up the same at the connection and you can swap over the governor, it might work but again, less horsepower.  There is a website with additional information,  Google Bills Welder Repair.  Another resource might be the multi cylinder stationary engine forum in SmokStak.  Hope all this helps.

I believe Sourdough was asking 'HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR IT?' when he said "What are you asking..."

For the record, I don't pretend to know for sure and I sure don't speak for Clay.  It just appears that way to me.  Also, using caps and bold type was to draw attention to the question, not to be taken as yelling or any other emphasis.

No harm brent.   I have come to the realazation with a pending move of facility's that i have far to many redundant things.  Time to start pairing down the stock.
