Hi Chris, the engine is a Peugeot 1.9 dturbo from a 306, and it doesn't mind the odd wee drink of veg oil
Andy

All I can say is, 200 lbs ft torque, 120 bhp, 50+ mpg Don't knock it until you've tried it

Seconded

This just proves moggy's can go anywhere :lol:[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1288216276_11451 [/frame] That looks a blast 8) :D , it must really turn heads :lol: what's the spec? and have you got any video's of it in action? I like this one from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il...

Looks great with the fresh paint, really looks the biz with those wings and wheels. Think you might regret selling, after about two minutes.

Thanks Mark

Hi matt, welcome, yes, you are one the right route with the xud pug engine and ldv box. I have a 405 1.9 td engine fitted to my van and it goes like fook, I used a FSO 5 speed box with mine, which needed a notch cut out for the steering rack, much the same as the Fiat conversion, I don't know about ...

Did you have to modify the chassis/tunnel/gearbox tunnel Andy to get it all in ?? Will it run on cheap veggy oil ?? I was hoping you would be at East Fortune this year - so I could have a good look at it! Just a chunk out of the bulkhead cross member and much the same as the Fiat conversion :wink: ...

Hi, have a look here, http://community.webshots.com/user/mogmad56 405 1.9 td engine mated to a FSO Caro gearbox and Escort rear axle with a 3.54 diff, plenty MPG, plenty torque and plenty fast
Andy

Nice project, superb wheel choice
I used a Pug 205 diesel rad with my twin cam Morris, £40 new

Would you be interested in a Fiat engine+box+modified prop+Fiat axle+all mounts+down pipe and stainless exhaust?
Gathered all this for a project that never started.
Andy

Done deal.

Why didn't you ask your Scottish supplier? He has loads
Andy

Well into the 40's at the mo, but on boost quite a lot, which isn't good for mpg, once I get a 3.54 diff and big tyres, hopefully a good bit more. I have used veg oil/bio diesel, a friend makes bio and it goes well on it, slightly down on power, but a bit quieter engine wise. Stinks like an old chip...

V W 150bhp PD diesel, great engine with plenty torque, but for now I'll stick to this, http://community.webshots.com/user/mogmad56 until I find a rwd gearbox for the VW engine
Andy

Here's a pic of an Isuzu engine fitted, does anyone have any info on this car? great engine, easily tuned

Your not wrong, he soon changed his tune, with a bit of silverware they seem to get lost in the race for fame
Bo' ness on sunday?

I never put up my number, not interested in all that, not a glory hunter, my van, as I like it
The revamp of the pickup looks good
cheers Andy

Mark, really enjoyed the show this year, met plenty of new Morris nuts, lots of blethering and the weather was ok. Time, just seemed to fly, feel a bit guilty for not lending a hand at the end of the show :oops: probably just get in the way :lol: and I never got a demo of the remote starting :( chee...

Nice one , definitely buy some of these parts .
cheers Andy
