Hi there, I'm new to the forum and I wanted to ask if anyone knows anything about the interchangeability between a 1955 RDE 17 25 hp and a 1957 RDE 19 35 hp. The 19 has a good powerhead, but the lower end seems seized (shifter won't budge). The 17 powerhead is hopelessly seized, but the lower end seems ok. I thought I might change the seals and gaskets on the 17 lower end, and stick the 19 powerhead on it. They seem visually identical. I'm trying to put a vintage engine together for a 1959 Whitehouse Sailfish. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks!
