I cannot see how there is room in there for a B-series block, either length or height, plus the change from 27bhp to 60bhp might not be too healthy for the transmission or back axle.The thought of driving such a vehicle, the suspension, steering and lack of brakes at, say, 65mph is not pleasant. -- Last edit: 2021-09-19 20:12:59
