Edd,
The M35B installed in Imzadi in 2000 failed in 2009. Long story. Cheap previous owner who cut one too many corners on the installation. After looking at cost and installation labor for a number of alternatives (Yanmar 3?M30, Beta 35, etc.) I ended up getting a 2010 bobtail M35B (no transmission and no instrument panel). With the cost of a proper exhaust riser and shipping, I think the total came to about $6300. Which was not much more than the total for parts and labor to get the old engine rebuilt plus correct the cheap PO’s poor installation. I had to wait 3 or 4 weeks for shipping because the new tier of emissions changes were being rolled out at the time I placed the order and there was a slight lag in getting the bobtail engine built. But I got the impression that complete engines were in production for dealer inventory at the time, so I think the delay was probably not typical. While the engine was out, I stripped the old one to harvest spares for the new engine (injectors, pumps, starter, alternator, wiring harness, heat exchanger, etc.) and did a proper exhaust routing and installed a new fuel tank. After the new engine arrived it took about 4 days to install the transmission, install and connect the engine (and replace the Vernalift muffler I had just installed (another long story. Anyone need a muffler, contact me offline – I have 3 to sell), and align the shaft. I’d guess the labor to R&R the engine, swap the transmission, and connect the new engine was about $600-700 of the total I paid to get the whole job done ($1800).
