Good luck. :-) Oh sure, it can be done - bigger motors than
the 440 have been stuffed into the GenIII, but you also need to
consider ease of maintenance after the swap - with a GenIII I would
seriously consider fabbing up a removable front clip, or have
it hinge up and forward. But that's just me. :-)
