I messed around with my Honda motor today and wanted to share what I learned.
One of these pics shows that there are major differences in the 70-73 z motor compared to the 74-? motor. Either one can be mounted though onto the z motor plate, since the holes have to be redrilled anyways...
I haven't installed it into my 260 yet, (I was waiting for someone else to figure out the wiring first.. )
The only mod I had to do to install this motor onto the z mounting plate was, center the drive, mark holes for redrill, redrill, then notch mounting plate for new motor to clear...
LINKS TO PICS BELOW ARE BROKEN, I WILL TRY TO RELOAD
