The question i have is, Will it work?
I have a 65 320 with a locked up motor numbered E1 520 225, was in the pasture for years. I also have a 67 520 with a just rebuilt motor numbered J413039, it has been wrecked and the cab was twisted badly, but runs great. Can the switch be as easy as I'm hoping it will be?
Happy Motoring Drive friendly.

awesome!
Re: j type motor where a e type was?
My 320 currently has a 1300 j motor in it according to what the two previous owners told me. My original 1200 e1 is almost ready to take to the machine shop.
I'll have to check the serial number of the engine in it to verify but I have no reason to doubt the previous owners.
