The engine from the 711D had a oil cooler connected to the oil filter assembly(water cooled). This did not fit in the frame of the trac because it was mounted downwards. The oil filter assembly from the old 314 was also bolt on, but we lost the oil cooler 
We have already made new connections with hoses to install a front mount, air cooled oil cooler on the trac, but have not found a suitable cooler yet.
The air compressor is identical on the 800 and the 711D, but the 711D has it connected as a vacuum pump instead. We switched the top of the compressor, and used the one from the trac. To make it fit we had to create a smaller bend on the intake side, because the fuel pump on the 364 is almost twice as big as the old 314.
The connection rod between the gas pedal and the fuel pump we bent to make it shorter, but I guess it is possible to get a suitable rod from later trac models.
The power in the new engine is enormous! +43hp and more than 100nm extra
And the old engine was quite exhausted, so I guess the power output was nok like the original 72hp...
Driving on road now, the trac pulls good in 8th gear everywhere, even with load.
If we had bothered, I guess it would be a good idea to make it go faster than the original 40,9km/h, but as I understand, it is quite difficult with this trac
The trac is away for repairs on the rear axle (oil leak) right now, but I will make a video when we get it back (tuesday, maybe), to show a bit of the new engine.
