- Hi Folks, A pal of mine has recently acquired a rubber bumper Midget. Apparently, it has a hole in the block where the piston tried to get out. He has done the math and concluded that he could get a

- I would be interested in what you could tell us. I have a 2.8 sitting in my shop just waiting for a good use, and a 68 midget that could use a new motor. Let us know what you can find out, please. T

- It's common for 1500s to do this. Did you know the 1500 engine started as 803cc and they did almost nothing to strengthen the bottom end when they increased the capacity! I think you'll find that tr

- That's simply untrue on so many levels. Please, buy a book and do some reading. Anyways, many british engines including the A series grew from tiny engines. That's not unusual. -- Trevor Boicey Ottaw

- A popular conversion over here is the toyota 4AGE motor. It fits with only a bonnet bulge and if you choose the right toyota gearbox fits without tunnel modifications. I personally don't like the ide

- Do you know what model of Toyota the 4AGE came in? I can find no reference to it being in any of the cars imported into the US, but maybe it came under a different name in the same model car. Thanks

- Actually I have done some reading and have owned a 1500. I also at the time had friends with 1500s (in Triumphs). Perhaps I should have said 'is a known failure mode of the 1500' rather than use the
