engine switch

[keifer2k3 0]

Hi Guys, Will the Briggs 16hp from a 6216H switch with the Briggs on a 6116? They look identical but I'm not sure about the vertical distances from the motor to the drive and implement pulleys/PTO and the horizontal distances. ie; will my belts still fit? I've never swopped out motors before, but my 6116 is dead. I know they'll switch but I need it to be without modification. Any advise will be much appreciated.

If they are both twin opposed engines, the envelope size is the same. Crankshaft dimensions should be the same. I would say go it.;)
