and I did hear once of someone putting a 6354 into a rangie, which has got
to rate among the more off-the-wall conversions.
daft idea. The 4203 is very suitable for a massey-ferguson tractor. The
4236 would be a bit better, but it's still very low-revving. Also it has a
raft of torque at lowish revs and is good for snapping half-shafts on series
motors, although the rangie should be a bit stronger.
There are plenty of more suitable engines around.

Too Busy: Your mind is like a motorway. Sometimes it can be jammed by
too much traffic. Avoid the jams by never using your mind on a
Bank Holiday weekend.
