M-18 replacement?

[Steve W]

Gordon, is there a direct replacement engine for the Universal M-18? It is my understanding that the M-18 was discontinued. Mine has one front engine mount and one on each side of the engine. It is probably too much to hope for, but it would be great to find a new bolt in replacement with the same mounting and connection specs. A ballpark cost for the replacement engine (no labor) would be appreciated. Thanks for all the help.

I believe the Universal M3-20 might be the one for you. I have to do a little more checking but at first blush it appears that you might even be able to use the three point suspension. My present plans have me out of here for Monday. I will try to get answers and be back to you shortly.

Sorry to say, no good on reusing your three point mount. The Universal M3-20 would still be the best choice of engines but the existing mounts would have to be modified to get the four point support. The list price on the engine is about $6000,00.
