Got tired of trying to troubleshoot the old engine... so I decided to change the engine. Which led to suspension upgrades, which led to brake upgrades which also led to all mechanical parts upgrades. [emoji849] Still some work to do... But mostly ready

I bought it from Rosario Di Bella. He makes and sells engines and fully restored cars. He sold me the engine, transmission, disc brakes, 126 hubs and all accessories needed to install and start engine.

Powerful engine! 750cc and I'd guess atleast 50 hp if not closer to 70 HP. Car gets up to US road speeds very quickly!

The block under the rear is because I don't have the handbrake connected yet. Will be connecting it today. But discs in front only.

Hi like the look of your car,it looks the same as mine Inc that big carb! I noticed the block under the rear wheel, & see you have disc brakes, are they on the rear as well? I ask that because I have discs on the rear & have to use a block of wood the same. Wish the guy who fitted them had just put them on the front only.

Rosario is a great guy and sells quality engines. This highly modified 750cc engine I bought from him, begs to be driven hard. Low rpm, engine is not happy...past that range up to redline, it pulls amazing! It's actually scary because of how small the car is! [emoji85]

That little car must be a rocket now! I bought a 650cc from Rosario and even that is a huge difference from the stock 499cc.
