I have a scag sw48 that needs an engine and have the oportunity to pick up a kawasaki fc540v for a great deal. The original engine was a kawasaki fb460v. Has anyone done this swap or seen it done? I mainly need to know if the engine will clear the tank. Thanks

I'd say you'll be ok.even if the motors don't have the same bolt pattern you can redrill the correct holes.My SWZ52 has a Kaw fh500V but blew both head gaskets last year.I was getting ready to swap to a Briggs until I could get it fixed.As long as the shaft diameter and Length is the same it shouldn't matter.:msp_thumbup:
