something went on my 01 nomad 1500. I was thinking of replacing the motor with a 1600 motor. any suggestions would be helpful.

Some forum members have done it and hopefully will be along soon to share their experience.

MasTequila on this forum is your best source for all the details on an engine swap. Pretty easy really. Just do a search of his forum name and you'll find all you need to know.

I installed a 1600 in my 2002, it went in the same as the original motor.

I have a 1600 with a Thunder BigBore kit/cams in my 2001 Nomad....My BigBore 1500 is up on my work bench, am reringing it and replacing my Manley screw-in valve guide inserts/retouching the seats to freshen it up. Oh yea, new HLA's....
