CHery Engine info

[mouser58]

I am sure you guys have probably seen this, seemed kind of interesting. It could be wrong, but you guys have had your buggys torn down and been inside out of them.

It certainly is very interesting. rocmoc, we were talking about engine transplants before and I just found this http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/1514778770.html but if the Chery is an Escort clone a Ford 1.6L or 2.0L could be interesting. This is the 1st non Chery Trooper I've come across.

Cheers Mike.

brostar, I will call the add today and find out what dealer they bought the Trooper from. Then we maybe able to get additional info. I will post what I find out.

Good one. A 1.8 would sure fly but low down torque is more important. Just come back from fishing all day so better start filleting.

Cheers Mike.

Hello Brostar,

I have left a voice mail but not hopefully as there was not a message when you call in to the number, just the telco voice message. Sometime this means a scam. I also left an email at the craigslist address in the add. We will see if this is on the up & up or a scam with bad info.

I think you might be right. Never mind, worth checking out though.

Cheers Mike.

Left or right wheel drive makes me wonder. Does mitsubushi offer a truck with that. I don't see any use for it unless your rock crawling. I suspose one could put seperate brake actuators on to acheive that but that would double the gearing on the un-braked wheel. Locking up one back wheel would be nice for decreasing turning radius. Thought about doing that. I agree, it's all about torque. Don't see any need to go faster.
