Re-engined CMPs

[Keith Webb]

The thread Ryan has started on his new F15 with a Holden 179 motor here made me think this might be an interesting list-type thread to cover the myriad of non-original engines transplanted into CMPs.

Ryan's is not the only one with a Holden 'Red' motor as the one I shot at Corowa in 2008 had one too... not to mention the R-R Viper jet on the back.

Here's my quick list of alternate non-original engines I've seen:

Ford V8
8BA, 21-stud, Windsor

Ford Falcon 6

Ford Truck 6

Holden grey and red motors

Perkins 4 cylinder diesel

Dodge V8

'Mexican' Chev

Toyota Landcruiser

Now over to you...

[Ryan]

This one has a Ford 4cyl Diesel.

Keith,

Over here, the common ones fitted when in commercial use, were Ford 4D diesel, Perkins P6 and I knew a chap with a Chev HUP who fitted a Bedford 220 4 cyl diesel.

Also Bedford 28hp petrol engines replaced the Chev 216.

I should have remembered the Bedford. There's one at Yass in a C15.

Here's one with a Holden red motor at Daylesford:

Drove a F60S with a 245 Dodge/Valiant Hemi engine and gearbox , needed the front extending to fit the unit in .
Very nice to drive .

Lot of Chev,s end up with the 53 onward 235 chev engine.
