Fun! if a little nose heavy. Understeer anyone !

I think the engine itself would physically fit but i don't think there would be enough room for all the radiator, engine mounts, gear box, and i think it would probably scrape on the floor. And you'd have to uprate the suspension for the weight of engine.

If you look at the photo, you can no longer see the tops of the suspension mounts anyway. The photo is to scale however. I matched the battey sizes up to make it to scale.

The best thing to do with this engine would be to put it where the back seats are. RWD it. Keep the original engine in the front for ballast!

Here's to dreaming!

In a straight line it would probably keep up with yours!

Wouldn't you just love to see that on the start line of Santa Pod!

I doubt it, I think it would p*ss most of the power away wheelspinning just like Dropping a 2ltr 16v into a nova has the same effect.

mid engined cento with a 3L Alfa block in there would be better then!

Your probably right. Infact your probably definately right.

You'd need an LSD to put all the power down through such small wheels. And where would you fit that! the sei is just too small. The Turbocharging kits IMO are the best way of keeping the sweet handling and a bit of extra zing.

<<don't take this seriously>>>

For straight line dragging - could weld the front diff up altogether. OUCH!

Ubercool idea

most obvious prob to me is how would you squeeze the rad and exhaust manifold in?! Would be uckfing awesome if someone could pull it off though!
I reckon that a Hayabusa 1500cc race engine (~200bhp) would fit nicely in a Cento engine bay...

pinin__prestatyn · Dec 25, 2005

Ah of course, a bike engine

Has anyone dropped a serious superbike engine in a cento? that'd thrash my coupe
