Topic: flat head cam question

[shadetreemechanic]

I was just wondering if I could run a 12 horse cam in my 8 horse briggs? Would this potentially help the motor performance wise or what. I know swapping heads and cams from small block chevys you can gain some power depending on the cam heads and stroke. So would changing some internal parts out of a bigger briggs flat head into my 8 horse help. Sorry for the long post. LMKWYT

NOTHING SWAPS BETWEEN THE 8 AND THE 12 hp.

Ok, So is there any parts that might amp up the 8 horse that can use from any other briggs engines? I've got a couple briggs 8 horse motors and was thinkng of souping one up so to speak for my little brothers lawnmower. Any help is greatly appreciated and always welcome

Nope, other than a carb change and without internal mods it's a waste of time and money.
