Title: BMW k75 or fire 1108 engine swap
Post by: Jota69 on March 05, 2010, 10:45:17 PM: BMW k75 or fire 1108 engine swap. Witch would be easier to do? I want to do an engine swap on my aircooled 126 and want to decide between this 2 options, I searched the web but I can't find too much information about it. If anyone has done one of this and can tell me what parts I would need to do one of this swaps and also wich one would require less fabrication and also most importantly wich one would be a cheaper option. Thanks in advance.

It is even possible to buy an adapter plate from Poland that's about ready to fit to the gearbox/engine. The K75 would need a lot of development to work.

Post by: bis13 on March 06, 2010, 06:42:09 PM: with regards to the can i acheive the same power as an 1108cc with a 650cc question in a word no.
but then if you are a rich man then you could dramatically increase the horsepower with some severe engine modifications and rebuilding but this would mean you end up with an engine that is unreliable as a normal use vehicule
and only able to run for short periods at a time.
