Hi Tom; I'm assuming that the K4 was just a new shell on the already existing AM pacific drive. It could be that there is some other difference, maybe the cylinders are part of the shell and would need replacing. Otherwise, pitch the streamlined shell and the tender and use the scale wheels and running gear under the AF shell. I have not done this, so you would be "cutting edge" if you try it...
