Default Need help finding info on this old Ford engine.

Hey guys, we just salvaged a Ford-powered Jacobson ride-on mower. It should run fine, though it hasn't been started in a few years.

Anyways, it's a Ford 1.1-liter inline-4, model 2271E.
more info:

Build No. 1/360/TK0/000
Serial No. 240


If anyone can link me to a site where I may be able to find info on this, it'd be greatly appreciated.


BTW, it's going on our gokart - we just finished retrofitting an 18hp V-twin generator engine, but found it wasn't enough power.

I haven't found it but I turned up a site that might be of use to you. It also seems that Ford made a bunch of 1.1L engines and is still making at least one version.

Try this site: http://www.ytmag.com/gardent/messages/archive33.htm

All the researching I did turned up info about 1.1L Ford Festivas in the UK.

That's funny... Those Festivas are powered by lawnmower engines.

Or a better way to look at it, your lawnmower (soo to be your go kart) is powered by an automobile engine.
