You must post the updates as you progress with it.

Are you using citroen or BMW drive?

I am actually using a "small block" Guzzi. One of the current builders designed an adapter to mate it to the 2CV box and we have had half a dozen made.
The small block Guzzi is 750cc but weighs the same as the 2CV engine and at 49BHP has considerably more grunt. And the Pembleton weighs about 300Kg....

Amazingly - one of the cars already built has a big block Guzzi (900cc?) that puts out nearly 100BHP. Think about the power to weight ratio.....
