The LD engine is the same except for those parts necessary for the bodywork such as the kick start lever, choke actuation, etc. Not all D/LD engines are the same, though. Most of the changes were to the kick start mech but the tranny and other parts also changed over the years. Common replacement parts are available: pistons, cranks, bearings gaskets, seals, clutch discs, etc but other parts can be very difficult to source.
