    Engine from the blue one is going in the red one. Something fuel injected is going in the blue one. At this point probably a 1.6L Mazda 4 cylinder, maybe a 1.8 if it will fit.

    I support and validate it. I just think it's cute that's all
    Isn't the sunbeam tiger a v-8? Does it have more room in the engine compartment?

    Tiger has different suspension and steering.



    So it looks like the haynes book is full of **** on an engine weight of 240 pounds. Going to have to go to the storage unit tomorrow and get out the engine hoist.

    You think that 2x4 is good for the tops of the fenders?
