does a particular modification change the engine from a K to a KB, and
what costs are involved in going from a K to a KB. (or is it the same
costs assuming it is time to overhaul anyway)


It's possible to change an engine from one model to another at overhaul.
If the differences are simple, it can be done by an overhaul shop. The
devil is in the details, and Continental will be the keeper of the details in
this case. The more common option is to swap your old K for a KB at overhaul
time. The case and the crankshaft represent the two most expensive parts to
replace. It may actually be cheaper to do a swap.
