This engine has a lot going for it. It burns diesel, only has one piston, so rebuilds would be cheap. The massive flywheel will keep from stalling the car.

In the second phot, you can see how easy it is to replace engine internals - there are none!

 

Well you know anything is possible if your pocket is deep enough....well in your case change in the sofa will do

 

Is that a forged rod? How much boost can you run?

 

 

Oooooookay. At least it is the right color for a match on the valve cover

Maybe this would be better in Off Topic.

 

dual clutch, forged rod... i say put a turbo on.
