Default K-341 Questions

I have the opportunity to trade a K-241 AQS to a guy for a K-341 AQS to re-power my 1000 QL. The guy tinkers with Kohler engines in general and is not sure if the K-341 he has came out of a JD or a Cub (he thinks it came from a Cub, but....).
Is there a quick way (without tearing the engine down) to determine if this engine will fit the 1000 QL?
My understanding is that the Kohler engines used in the JD had different cranks and oil pans. Can Cub components be swapped into this engine block (crank, oil pan, etc)?
What other items may cause issues?
What should I be looking for, before I make this trade?
Thanks
GEL

All Kohler Motors have a Spec (specification) Number. That number indicates the specific build and options for a customer (ie: Cub Cadet, Simplicity, etc)

As long as the Spec Number matches the ones IH used, there would be no problems transplanting a larger motor.

You need to look and see if it is a wide base or narrow base block. Cubs used narrow base blocks.

Basically if there is a lip on the bottom of the block with mounting holes That bolts can go down through, it is a wide base.

Narrow base blocks are mounted with bolts that come up into the oil pan.

Thanks, guys.
I'm going to take a look at this engine this weekend and see what happens.
Your information sure will help.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
