    I like it! Forget the SBC nonsense, that car has to have a Ford engine. I'd be inclines to stick a 289 or 302 but even a turbo 2.3 might go OK in a light little thing like that.

    A friend had one just like that in the 60's. One day we were driving down the street in the city & were both looking at these two girls walking down the sidewalk. My buddy didn't see the '57 Buick stopped in front of us & rear-ended it. My knee hit the dash & the radio fell out on the floor. The Buick was un-injured.

    When I was 16 my best bud and I put a 283 bored out to 301 in one of those. Twin WCFB's and a 3 speed stick, later a powerglide when we couldn't figure out how to make the clutch linkage work. A cut down Mustang rear end and a shortened driveshaft and it ran! The engine sat so far back in order to clear the stock radiator that the distributor was under the dash!

    Went straight like a scalded cat, would not turn or stop tho since everything else was still stock Anglia parts!

    Hey, we were 16.......:eek:

    Why not set up the original four cylinder with a turbo? Seems to me it would make an interesting sleeper car.

    My buddy at D&L weld and fab is trying to get me to use one of his turbos and let him set it up. I just might I need to get the cooling system back in tack first I havent even driven it yet but its is pretty comfortable for a small car.

    Well It's alive !!! Spent the afternoon yesterday installing a new fan belt battery and hammering on the tacoed fan blade. after a squirt of carb cleaner and a few coughs later she runs. Still need to get a radiator or fix the old one before I hit the streets. It seems to idle well and clean no smoke.

    Cool, an Anglia was my first car in high school on the 60's. I milled the head, put bigger tires on the back, pulled a hole shot & blew the rear, ha. Guess that's how you learn.
