has anyone replaced the 160cid in an I-600 with an model 163 engine? It must of come out of a fork truck or other industrial application. the 163 looks physically bigger and the manifold is on the opposite side. It had a bellhousing bolted on so I couldn't really see how the rear of the motor looked. Plus it was on the top shelf and in a dark building. was wondering if this swap had been made before, I know it would require some fabrication. The 163 is rebuilt and ready to install, my 160 is in pieces(bought it that way) the 163 is cheaper than rebuilding the 160 if the install isn't too bad. Thanks for anyone's input

you could replace with a 149 ci engine, just a few horses less than the 160 ci
