All Ford engines run the right way and bolt up to a type 9. Apart from the Duratec which came from some where else....


How that then Caterham use the 1.6 K Series. Im lost
cause alot of the 416's had honda engines not a K
the 1400cc ones were k's...

the 200/400 rovers are concerto's in disguese, some had BL engines, some had honda ones and the oil burners had Pug engines......

you could stick the engine and its own box in the front rotated 90 deg.

then connect one driveshaft to a diff at the back and one to a diff at the front = 4x4 :lol:

FYI: There's a Mojo for sale with a VTEC already in it...
Link to thread...

The Mojo was designed by Jeremy Philips of Sylva Autokits, and is now owned by Typhoon Sportscars, so you could always contact them and get a pre-built chassis if that's what you were thinking?
