After e mailing the company it seems it would fit. They say however they would not do it because of devaluing the car. But I suppose they would sell the engine etc to be fitted at home.

What a ridiculous statement – I think when I found my car it was worth probably €3000 with a completely knackered engine. So buying one of their engine would not devalue it anymore…. would it. But it would allow you to drive it quite nicely around the modern roads in minimal time, specially when a recon perfo or 11D comes in not much less the €4000.

If I found another “barn find” with a beat up old engine I would thing about it.

What struck me about the show was the many times they mentioned the fact that the original engine need to be serviced every 1200 miles as it did not have an oil filter. I know I have changed my oil a few more times than that but is this the correct timing for such a service ?

Also – they said that was a 1600 engine in a ’56 Van – didn’t know they did a 1600 engine other than pre war cars?
