I haven't the foggiest on this one I'm afraid:confused

I should imagine there may be sensor plugs that are different. I swapped an M51 engine into my touring in place of an M51 and there was a slight difference on the air flow sensor. Mine had a meter fitted into one of the induction pipes and the replacement was just a sensor bolting into the bottom of the inlet manifold.

Also, one engine had a self levelling oil thingy ma bobby on the bottom of the sump and the other did not:confused

What is the reason you are wanting to do this???
