Briggs 14,16 18 HP block?
I want to rebuild my blown up 16 HP Briggs vanguard. I need a block. Are any of these blocks 14 or 18 interchangeable with the 16? If not what is the diffreence and what new parts would I need.

How bad is the block? My friend used to race B&S 5hp and blow rods out of the block all the time on alcohol. They would just patch the hole with some alum and TIG weld it back shut lol.

If the side of the block you can fix it, if it breaks at the cylinder you might not. It has to be solid crank bearing to cylinder(s).

The bottom of the cylinder was busted off , Oh well its in some dump now. Any idea of parts that could be " reused" in a different block? Maybe the cam, heads, connecting rods and such?

Re: Briggs 14,16 18 HP block?
I'm not sure, someone knows, the right forum you will find out. The 18/20 are very similar, the 23 cam works in a 20. They change the bore and stroke mostly on them. IIRC the 14/16 is smaller but I'm not sure. For example the 20 has a larger carb than the 18 for more power. I heard the price of alum was up lol.
