now my little 425 is on the road, it's dangerously slow.

so I've sourced a 602 engine and box, has anyone done the swap?

my 425 is six volt and has the pedals in the floor!

well the response was pretty underwhelming Shocked

I'm assuming I'm not the first!

I've sourced the AM2 engine, and it's a bit furked, but there's no noticable play in the crank, so I'm now looking for a piston-barrel kit.
perfect circle seems to be the easiest to source, any comments/opinions??

thanks rusty
yes I used his site to choose my engine (I had a choice of six), it is a very useful site.

advice I would like to discuss is things like clutch cable modification, brake line reduction, driveshaft compatability.

Bren, why not just buy a 2CV6 or Dyane6 and let an enthusiast buy yours?
Just wondering..

that was my intention.
and it would have been a hell of a lot easier.
but I honestly couldn't find a reasonable 2cv6 Shocked Shocked
and I fell in love with the interior of the 425cc
which is why I've put so much effort into keeping the interior original.

I see, and i'm no better than you:D
I _could_ buy a faster, newer, safer car..But i prefer to upgrade the engine in the Mehari rather than buying another car..Goal is 130kmh and that is definetly within reach;-D
Thinking high compression plungers (running v06/665, so yes 9:1 is an option, might go higher), i have (what i believe to be) a 630 series engine in the shed with the beefier crankshaft and "force feeder", a 2 into 1 header is planned..I reckon app 40hp when rejetted and done..
