I have just seen is a perkins 52hp AD3-152 engine advertised for sale, it was originally on a generator and is only suppose to have 500 hrs on it, there is no waterpump or flywheel.
Would this fir a super dexta and would there be much to be changed to do it

Is posible, the big problem would be the rear main bearing cap. It 's too big and you wont get the Dexta sump to fit,and you cant just change it for the Dexta one,
Think that engine is also a direct injection one ,, Many things different , Jim.
