replacement engine
hi all,
after some advise, son has bought a Dutton to rebuild, has a pinto in it at mo bolted to type 9, we want to change the engine to a smaller one, ie

Thanks

Obvious choice are the 1.3 Crossflow or 1.3 CVH engines. There is/was an extremely rare 1.3 pinto, but I doubt you'd ever be able to find one.

Easiest would be an early 1.3 or 1.4 with distributor on the end of the camshaft, spare bosses on the block need to be drilled and tapped for the
engine mounts, offside one needs a bit of ingenuity.
