Hello, I have been looking for a engin for my 250. It's a 2004. I found a 86 engine that is in great, low mileage condition. It's been sitting on a shelf at a dealership for a very long time, stored indoors. I am wondering if anyone knows if there are any differences that would prevent using the 04 valve cover and side covers, etc on it so it looks correct. If not, does anyone know if the internals are the same where I could just swap everything over to the the newer case?

That thread is mine on the other site. I have done alot of part number comparison and now some actual part swaping to see if it will work or not.
