Ideas for the next sammio.
I wonder if Gary could squeeze this old engine I have sat behind my shed into the next sammio?
Might work in a Transit chassis, but could possibly need a bigger gearbox.

Or you could slip it under the driver's seat to provide powered fore and aft adjustment.

Unfortunately not currently a runner. last known operating was in the 70's. It is what you might call a 'long term project'. (Or retirement project.)
They do use them in tractor pulling in Europe. Surely it would fit in a G46 with double humps?
