emgine swaps

Share this page

I've heard of people considering it, but I've never seen it done. Other than the price, I think this would probably be easier than alot of other swaps. I want to repower my midget someday in the distant future. I was thinking of a ford Zetec or Toyota 4AGE. Both of these engines have alot of tuning parts available. You will need a new rearend as well, and if you plan on going fast you may want to upgrade your brakes and suspension. Do you have any dimensions on the gearbox and motor?
 
All you swapper wanna-bes, try a little spice in your lives. Best one I ever saw was years ago a friend of mine put an Alfa Veloce engine and 5 speed into an early sprite. Don't know any of the details but it was the ultimate sleeper. Bob
