Re: Engine Swaps in Countries Other than the USA

Allison is a great engine, but should you prefer British makes?

Try to find a Bristol Centaurus (18 cyl 2-row sleeve valve radial, 2526 hp)
or a Napier Sabre II (24 cyl flat H-engine, also with sleeve valves and 2340
hp output). As the engine bay in our Alpines is so roomy, you have only to
find a really horny shoehorn and slip new power plant in. BTW you must leave
the original Rootes engine in too, it is needed to run fuel pump.
