popular french car 2cv

Are the cases pure aluminium? Could you weld them and then machine them to alter the stud spacing and accept VW barrels? Maybe it would be possible to raise them a touch to clear the lifer bores? Just thinking out loud here, it´s probably nonsense.

Or fit a Panhard motor!

 

I think it s easier to fit a Citroen GS.
Air cooled like the 2Cv, but with 4 cylinders and about 55 or 65 hp.
It s been done.

 

oui mais non : D
of the 4 cyl citroen gs it is powerful ... ok
but I want to stay flat twin 2cv typical but much more powerful.

 

I agree. It s more funny
That s why I also keep an old engine in my car, and plan to use a supercharger on it, instead of swapping for a more modern one, for the same power in the end ..

 

Cool, great minds think alike

 

fitting a 4 cil, gsa engine is also alot of work. i have done that to my dyane:



its a 1300cc with around 80 hp at the moment, im makening plans / parts to change it to a 1600cc compressor with around 150hp.

but im also working on a standerd 2 cil engine for a friend of mine, but than a 710cc with compressor, u can get around 75 hp out off the standard engine and still drive reliable =].

also its possible to put a 1100cc bmw motorcylce engine in, but well that is a bit lame to do,

 

You may be a Snail addict

 

well snail is mostly low and slow. i rather have a fast car then a dropped to the road one.

 

With 150hp I don´t think you need to worry about being too slow.

It's true. You can make a silk purse out of a sows ear. What talent!

 

I love this dash:



As a hatchback:

 

American license plates are popular collectables in northern Europe

 

That's right. Any old plate will fetch $20 and up.

 

Belle! une bonne voiture!

 

Merci. Maleureusement, c'et pas moin

 

When I was a kid and could not drive, I loved to ride my bike up the hill to the one parked up there on a side street. It sure reminded a teenager of a 34 Ford. suicide doors and all. The memories are fine but I can't get into a ferrin car. JMO

 

This is not an Ami "8", but an Ami "6" (1961-1969)
