kiwi808 Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 This is where we get to talk oil leaks, poor brakes, electrical issues and the reason why this needs a rotary engine. Quote
igor Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Would it need a cert for 948 to 1098 swap given that the two look alike enough for it to not be noticed at wof time and the horsepower difference is probably bugger all? Quote
Yowzer Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Technically yes, but you'd have to be the most pedantic prick to pull it up on it 3 Quote

I could probably pull the 1100 tag off the side and hope he isn't an A series boffin to decode the engine number. But I just checked the head I have and it's a 950 one which isn't good on a 1100 so at this stage I'm not Gona rebuild that one Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Regarding the revin, how hard would a plate and tag swap be? Surely something this old would be a cakewalk? /don't do that though, it's illegal! 2 1 Quote
tortron Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Extremely easy. The tags are all screwed on. Actually it has a Nuffield Australia build plate on it Quote
tortron Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Ok I've figured it out Its had a 1100 swap in the past, and then the marina engine was rebuilt and swapped in in Nelson. Its been illegal for decades. Wonder if the re Rego inspection failed on that or the rust Quote

j.e.d. Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Same colour as my Morris Minor.. may I should put up a build thread of mine and we can swap ideas 2 Quote
tortron Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Nice. I bought it on the colour alone. Cheaper than painting my other one.... Please do. This forum needs much more minor content 5 1 Quote

tortron Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Doulama has some marina disks, think I might redrill them to the correct yuck Brit pcd Actually might be good for my other minor 1 Quote
Nominal Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Have to take them off the Traveller first. Wof man can't handle the increase in pedal pressure and I don't want to tell him they are non standard. Quote

tortron Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Not much space available for the gearbox. Steering rack isn't in a good locatio 1 Quote
tortron Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 After some soul searching, I'm Gona supercharge the marina engine. That should save me from wanting to supercharge my sidevalve. Flanges are readily available off the shelf now days, I struggled to find them 10 years ago. Already have a v pulley for it. Will probably just make up a plenum to bolt to a standard or twin carb intake, and fit some basic lcbs. 7 2 1 Quote

kiwi808 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 This was my old Moggy. Sold it to a guy on here who rebuilt the motor and now it’s a promo car I think. 5 Quote
