**Sigh**
Guys, he already has a 1250 with a motor in it. All he wants to know is if he can get a K301 and make it a K301AQS. He has all the parts, just needs a good short block.
The answer is maybe. Some 301's DO have the holes, and DO have the hole for the dipstick. But it has to be a later block. You will also have to tap the holes for the right side dipstick, but they are there. (If your 1250 has that style of dipstick, there are two styles.) You will also have to remove the exhaust elbow, (not easy) off both motors and switch them. You will have to remove the dipstick tube off the replacement motor and put a freeze plug in it. That is *IF* you find a later 301. If it's an early one, then it will not have any of the holes you need for the PTO, dipstick or anything. Oh, almost forgot, you will likely have to change the rear block plate. Some were already tapped and set up for a stator, some were not.
