Ficht to VRO

Hi all

Anyone know how similar the old VRO Johnson 2.5l V6 blocks are to the Ficht 2.5l V6?

My 150VRO is getting tired and I've been offered a 175Ficht that had a new powerhead fitted hours before the bottom end was written off.

I'm considering dropping the Ficht Powerhead into my VRO and surprising a few people.

Anyone know if its possible.
I have workshop facilities and can build a loom etc.

Nasher.

Managed to answer my own question. Completly defferent.

My old VRO is a 90 deg Vee and the newer engines are 60 deg.

The exhaust ports open in a different place too.

Was worth a try.
