    I think the differences between the Seca and the Maxim is mainly cosmetic and engines are the same.
    Basically remove seat, tank, carbs, coils, radiator/oil cooler, undo shaft drive universal joint and engine is ready to drop.
    Some people lay the bike on its side to ease engine removal and installation.

    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    Just a heads up. The seca engine was a solid mount to the frame. The Maxim engine was a rubber cushion mount. Make sure you use the correct mounting hardware when switching the engines.

    It's not just the shift lever, you will want to swap the whole cover (where the shifter shaft goes) the Seca is different from the Maxim.
