SO plenty of torque, and easily over 100 mph, probably about 115 mph would be quite possible. Contact me off-line at jond@jeengineering.co.uk if that is interesting.

I am not sure what the advertising policy is on this site ?

I have seen recommendations for Richard James, Colonel Spencer, ACCS , Bristol , BOC , BODA, Andrew Blow, Brian May, and a few others by people connected and not connected ! Most accepted by the webMASTER , and one or two not !!

At the bottom of the page ASDA insurance is advertised if anyone is interested :-)

Your Diesel transplant experience sounds very interesting and I would be surprised if any of the other usual contacts above could or would take it on !

An engine transplant can be reversed in most cases and if down the line someone wants to go back to original, they can. I know one or two 6 cylinder Bristol owners that run with a 5 speed ford gearbox but keep the original in case the next owner prefers a rougher ride / originality.

Thanks for the info
