new engine

[yindoor2]

Hi all

I have a slight problen, in that I intend to re-engine a moody 47. At present it has a 72hp Thornycroft in there. I would like some advice on what the experts here would think that I should consider replacing it with, and the rough cost for the whole job.

Many thanks in advance

Give us a clue. What's wrong with the Thornycroft?

At 72hp it sound more like a ford 4D.

I suppose one of the larger betas or the Ford xld would be upto the job.

72bhp 1500cc BMC? Must be the twin turbo version they never made.
