I know there is the obvious GS/GSA Sidewinder options and the BMW bike engines but I would like to know more!!! On another forum I went on someone pointed out these engines! Rotax engines such as found on Microlites. 1200, 1300, turbo etc... looks yum too!   Go on Harry, be brave and have a go! |

Has anyone ever tried a Subaru engine in a 2CV? I've alays wondered if one could be squeezed in. Even better if you could get the 4x4 transmission in there too.

My Grandad (at 93) until very recently had a '53 Jowett Javelin. Jowett's engine of choice was a horizontally opposed 4 cylinder type. More info here: http://toolsandgarages.info/?p=175 They sound gorgeous

I saw an Acadiane at (I think) the 50th Anniversary Paris meeting with a Lotus Twin Cam engine mounted in the middle. The owner was trying to sell it (for £5 500 or so) but spent most of the meeting trying to get it to run properly, putting off any potential buyers.  Oddly enough, I was talking to one of my fellow lorry drivers at work the other day, and he mentioned that what sounds like the same van now lives in a yard near Gloucester with a load of other 2CVs. Apparently it still rarely works properly.

The Lotus Acadiane is owned by Dominic Weston - he's the CX registrar for the CCC. He joined up here a while back & promised to start a thread on said van... |
