G230PU Crankcases WILL NOT support a 231/260 top end, different bolt pattern.
If you have a 230 DONOR engine with a tight crank, ALL parts "But The Top End" from your 230 will go into/onto G231/260 cases.
Zenoah 231/260 cases with bearings can be found for $40 or so, a NEW 260 top end kit about the same $$ .... Will need a 260 water jacket and some gaskets to do the swap.
Going to cost you @ $100 or so doing it.
** May want to Contact Mitch at Quick Draw Marine and see if they have any 260 kits for cheap ? ( they take the major parts out for QD builds selling off the unused parts )
