I was afraid to mention that option Tony, in case the purists attacked me ! The 28hp Bedford engine is actually a better engine than the Chev as it has full pressure oiling to the big ends, bhp is about 72, but if you fit a late build 214 from 60/70's era, they are 100bhp for same capacity.

By the way, great to meet up with you recently
