My 2cents
Hey guys,
Don't get me wrong, I can see the merits of many suggestions on this thread and I know the satisfaction of modifying and improving the performance of collectible vehicles (when I used to restore Model T and A Fords I had all the cool accessories) But I thought the point of most Military Vehicle restorations is to preserve the vehicles as they were during the world's most devastating conflict. My hope for the Scout Carrier is that it will eventually look, sound, smell and feel just as it woukd have for the hapless RAC troopers who crewed them in France and Belguim with the BEF, or with British and Australian forces in the Middle East and North Africe. I'm not criticising those modified carriers - they are yours to do as you please, but how noble an ideal it would be to demonstrate to my grandson in years to come what his great grand father and might have experienced all those years ago... The old gutless late 30's English spec engine is what my carrier had and what I hope it will have again. Cheers

Here's an example of an 8BA engine all set up to go into an earlier vehicle:

Call sacrilege if you will, but my carrier has a chevy 350 four bolt with a single barrel rochester carb, and boy does she move...I could pull stumps all day long. Flamesuit on.

Whatever works for you, but just don't paint it bright yellow.
