why not forget putting an engine up front and go for a rear mounted one..? There is a moke with a Toyota engine done like that. Alternatively what about a Hybusu motorbike conversion... now THAT would be mad. |

i dont think so! I read in *mini modz* i can get a kit for $850, supercharger and HIF6 Crabe for another $400 or so.... much cheaper

a worked 1275 will be hella powerful 
a worked 1275 with boost will be scarily powerful
a toyota starlet conversion with turbo will be insanely powerful

The moke is a 4 seater so with the rear seats so Very little room in the back for a motor. Rear wheel drive moke would be sick tho....
Also have a 45DECO weber but on a goose neck manifold.... does it still kick an SU's performance even with the goose neck? I want to try and avoid andy more Mods to the body, its all painted now and don't want to be cutting holes and chipping the paint work. Expensive paint!!! Daniel. |

"and don't want to be cutting holes and chipping the paint work. " Well, you've just about rules out ANY engine conversions.... Personally, i would have added a motor and done any mechanicals BEFORE the painwork, but hey, thats just me I'm actually planning a conversion to a moke myself as we speak... 12A 5-speed FWD . . . . .
Engineer has approved in concept... Just got to sort the engine / gearbox adaptor, the driveshafts and actually buy a moke and we're good to go ! J |

J If i had the big budget i'd too be doing a AWD moke. Sounds like a big conversion for a motor that only put out around 1146cc?? If i stick too a blown 1293cc im sure that'll suit my needs

Whack a Jap import SC12 supercharger kit on the 1293 and you'll have all the performance your front tyres can handle - probably more
For drag or short bursts, it's hard to go past the value of nitrous. Put both of the above on, polish the SC12 and you'll have a winner for show & on the strip
