Engines

[james_ellis]

Thank you for your advice everybody.  This has given me a lot to chew over.  I will fetch the chassis and then measure it up, start to see what motor could go in best.  Here in Canada the A7 is a very rare beast and finding a used engine within my budget will be hard- i have the Morris lump already and it runs well enough which is what got me thinking about it.  I am thinking here a special for use in local car club competition, off road tracks, friends farm tracks etc. , so VSCC eligibility is not the game here.  Things are often done a bit differently in Canada anyway with vintage vehicles entered in events with 90's V8s out of Ford trucks fitted- the whole idea of period eligibility being lost most except the most serious track racers... it really is a case of drive what you bring.   I had thought of a twin cylinder engine from something- but i know of a coventry climax locally attached to a fire pump tender none of which is being used.  That could be an idea!!  Thank you for your suggestions everybody
