1293 sounds good

why not forget putting an engine up front and go for a rear mounted one..? There is a moke with a Toyota engine done like that.

Alternatively what about a Hybusu motorbike conversion... now THAT would be mad.

wow, now lets get back to the land of those that dont have never ending bank accounts aye

dude id keep the 1293, put a supercharger kit on it from link and see how that goes

Where Hybusu = Hayabusa.

**nods**

You say Potayto.. I say potarto

Link Want something like $10,000 for a supercharged motor....

i dont think so!

I read in *mini modz* i can get a kit for $850, supercharger and HIF6 Crabe for another $400 or so.... much cheaper

a worked 1275 will be hella powerful
a worked 1275 with boost will be scarily powerful
a toyota starlet conversion with turbo will be insanely powerful

what about a fully sic 13btt big intercooler rear drive it of course use a chrysler dana 8 inch stronger than i ford nine inch also cheaper ... if you can find one get a two speed slusher matic power glide ........
or just build a good solid a series motor

The moke is a 4 seater so with the rear seats so Very little room in the back for a motor.
Rear wheel drive moke would be sick tho....

Also have a 45DECO weber but on a goose neck manifold....
does it still kick an SU's performance even with the goose neck?

I want to try and avoid andy more Mods to the body, its all painted now and don't want to be cutting holes and chipping the paint work.
Expensive paint!!!

Well, you've just about rules out ANY engine conversions....

Personally, i would have added a motor and done any mechanicals BEFORE the painwork, but hey, thats just me

I'm actually planning a conversion to a moke myself as we speak...

12A 5-speed FWD . . . . .

Engineer has approved in concept...

Just got to sort the engine / gearbox adaptor, the driveshafts and actually buy a moke and we're good to go !

If i had the big budget i'd too be doing a AWD moke.
Sounds like a big conversion for a motor that only put out around 1146cc??
If i stick too a blown 1293cc im sure that'll suit my needs

Whack a Jap import SC12 supercharger kit on the 1293 and you'll have all the performance your front tyres can handle - probably more

For drag or short bursts, it's hard to go past the value of nitrous.

Put both of the above on, polish the SC12 and you'll have a winner for show & on the strip
