490 Engine Cases

[Stevo17]

I am just trying to confirm whether the 4 speed and 5 speed engine cases of the 83 and 84 Maico 490 are the same? I cannot locate part numbers for the 84.  Any help would be most welcome. thanks steve

83 490 prefix 362 r/h case 8027 l/h case 8026
84 490 prefix 364 dont have pt numbers
85 500 prefix 366 119002 / 119005

thanks Paul, thats what I am finding - cant get the part numbers for the 84 cases

im not sure but there might be a difference between 5 and 4 speed cases as well

I thought the Spider and Sandspider had the same cases?  Got me buggered - anyway I have scored a set of 84 cases and will just hope they work out. If not they will be going back on the market.

I found this video where a guy is putting an 85/86 5 speed tranny into a 4 speed FL362000 cases.

So if that is the case, the 4 speed tranny should fit directly into the 364000 cases. fingers crossed
