[QUOTE="69ST, post: 167368, member: 5"] K1 & later frames have a welded-in, one-piece, cradle brace in the engine mount area. K0 has split reinforcements which sometimes results in stress crack formation at the outside edges of the triangle through which the fuel lines, plug lead, wire harness & inlet airbox boot pass. FWIW, I agree that 400-500 variance between engine SN and frame VIN is close enough to be considered "matching". At the other extreme, there are a few known examples of exact matches. What complicates HK1 engine/frame matching is the relatively lower production. 3-speed production outstripped 4-speeds by something like four, or five, to one, depending upon the source. Then there's the D.O.M. From what I've seen, production slowed as 1972 progressed...very likely what led to this being the end of the H-model. [/QUOTE]
