NaN Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 that first link is a BLOODY good idea, diffs and all for $500. Put in the hard work and it might all be worth it. I'd follow that up if this was my truck project. just sayn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgweiser Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Dodge six is a bloody big motor for an Austin 7, would go well tho, if you can live with white metal bearings and no synchro's down low then go for it. At least it will be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaN Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 its not 'really' an Austin 7 anymore could always use a FWD engine and gearbox rear mounted. and use the engine bay for storage or a seat, or for 8 small children with oddly flat heads in cardboard tubes ...

Borgweiser Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah but 55mph flat out with a dodgy six ain't gunna be skid material.. I'd go with something in a V formation, or a BIG flathead 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKAZ Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think with a _really_ low budget, a 202 and trimatic would be my choice. a 2.3 v6 tina motor doesnt have that .. look, that .. style. a 202 with a rusty chrome air filter would. my rats running 202 and traumatic, $240 off trademe. 2.3s are A gutless piece of shit that have ony 2 exhaust ports each side.
