I have got a potential spare engine which might be useable, but it's three bearing.
Is it feasible using something on a 1929 chassis just because its there, or would the differences in crankcase height muck up the uncoupled handbrake mechanism, entail drilling new chassis holes or whatever?
The front starter wouldn't be a huge problem.
Be interested to know from someone who has done the same.
Was also thinking of the drivetrain height issue for people who run solid mount engines on rubber for safety... presumably that raises the engine a tad under 1/2" or so?
