This is Carl Talbot's latest Morris iteration:-

It looks from the photo as if the very powerful 1647cc 'A' Series engine fitted to his Morris Minor speed hill climb car has been shoehorned into a winning trials car.

1647cc "A" Series?

[philthehill]

Quite possible if you over bore and stroke the crankshaft.
Last time I saw the engine it was 1380cc had a KAD 16 Valve head and fuel injection and was producing unbelievable amounts of power.
The spare 1400cc MG midget block I have came from Carl.

[ManyMinors]

I know that 1400cc is perfectly possible.
However, it's a bit of a stretch from that to 1647cc isn't it .....

[philthehill]

So long as you have the will and the money you can easily get a 'A' Series engine to 1596cc with a bore of 74.7mm x 91mm stroke.
Triumph 2.5ltr 6 cyl pistons can be used with the 74.7mm bore but some machining of the block may be required to suit.
The extra 12.75cc per cylinder should be possible with a few tweaks and a bit more money .
See David Vizard's book Tuning the 'A' Series' Section 14 Big Motors Parts 1 & 2 for details.

Did they get it from the Chuckle Brothers.

If I had that engine I would be really chuckled.
