Re: engine upgrade.
Just spotted a 948 A-Series diesel on ebay, at a price mind...

Looks to be physically quite a lot larger than the petrol A-Series, so I'm not sure it'd even fit in lengthways without some cutting. Don't fancy trying to get hold of the parts for that rebuild either!

Re: engine upgrade.
It looks more like the B series version - but the seller seems convinced. I think for the very brave only......

And foolish!
16 HP might work for a mini tractor but given the weight of that thing boat anchor would be a better use for it.

Re: engine upgrade.
I suspect not the most efficient diesel in the world - but if I was given one in running order -i would certainly give it a try!
