I had thought about doing just that and have had to tell myself to wait a couple times now. Plan is to bench test over the weekend and if it does not smoke throw some crank seals at it real quick, then install to the '78.

I want to cut the grass one more time with the '78 as it sits just to make sure it gets done before I borrow some ignition parts from it's engine to test the '76 mill.

People are already tugging at my strings for weekend plans though so we will see what happens. I am hoping to sell the 12.5 briggs engine out of my old MTD this weekend to free up some cub funds too. Finally had a guy contact me interested in it. He said he would call me tomorrow night on it, that would be nice. Tired of looking at it.
