Power outputs

[Hedd_Jones]

This is all very interesting, for many years I've fancied dropping a small diesel into a cheap engineless box saloon or Ruby, and using it every day. 

The mpg should be good if nothing else. 

The Kubota, super mini range, 3 cyl at anything from 600odd cc to say 900odd cc seem to have comparible power, the size would be a doddle to fit in. And not going silly with power means I could get away with standard brakes. The power rating also would suggest the Austin drivetrain may well stand up, but it is difficult to judge the torque, as very little is quoted for the Austin engine. Max revs 3800 also which seems to suit. And probably availible for less than a grand. 

I have nippy axle, standard and earlier 4.9, so have a few options for axle ratio. Also 17 and 16inch wheels.
