Why the 36hp engine?
So what exactly is the purpose of turning a small displacement 36hp engine into a hotrod that at best could turn out maybe 70hp (I’m being optimistic). Truth be told, a stock 1600 dual port engine could do better and be much cheaper to build... but that is just not the point of this exercise, is it?
Think on that a bit, and while you’re doing so, I’ll make my introduction as to who I am, if you don’t already know me.
Strange projects
Here you’ll find a few pages about some of the off beat projects that I do, with some photos and write-ups. If you’re looking at these pages, I hope you’ll support the site by coming back and buying some parts.
