Engine change. What problems might arise if I put in a 1600 cross flow in to a moris van? I brought this engine thinking that it was a 1300, I have just discovered that it is a 1600. According to the cylinder casting head number, which is 37, Unlike the 1300 which is 33. I am in need of a prop and a carboreter plus gear stick. Has any body out there got any good advise to give.
Thank you

Down-draught webber, often come up on ebay. And yes it will need stronger half shafts or a mk2 escort rear axle.
