whats the difference and are they interchangable??????

I personally I would take it you never knwo what could be done with it what parts could be used on other trucks

well, actually i was trying to figure out if a g180 bottom end will fit a g200 top end.

i was wanting to fix it for my wife.

Oh ok I wish my wife would let me build her one she wont let me

if the manifolds look the same the worst you would have to do is bore up a little to make sure the compression is right.

the early luv motors were not the same as the later 70's...

got a 75 bottom end and a 78 or 79 top end.......they won't work will they???????????????????????

75 and older LUV motors are not at all compatible with 76 and newer G180s and G200s. The block and head designs are completely different. I doubt you'd find two bolt holes that would line up. You'd need a 180 from 76 or newer to match any G200 parts.

If I recall the G200 and later G180 are pretty much interchangable. There might be a slight difference between the size of the combustion chamber on the head, but its not enough to cause much problem if you put a 180 head on a 200 or vice versa. Hopefully Kuranosuke will notice this thread and give some details. I know he looked that very problem over in some detail when he built up the motor for his LUV. See his thread here:
