Early Carrier engines

[Philliphastings]

I checked over the pic I have of the engine still in a paddock which I have reason to believe may have been the one removed from my carrier in 1947 to put into a farm truck. It has 21 studs, water pumps in the heads and single belt pulleys.

Provided I can still acquire it and bring it home I hope to rebuild this engine to put into the Scout, unless someone can come up with a compelling reason why it would be wrong to use that configuration.

I have an option on a 21 stud engine with standard water pumps or an ex Aust LP2A carrier 24 stud engine assy but I want to try to get it historically correct a smuch as possible.

Cheers

Phill
