Yes. I'd love to drive it. I wonder if a taller diff is available for that car?

This is really interesting. I bet the 3 cyl weighs more than the Fiat 4 cyl it replaced, but still if it REALLY gets 70mpg that is fantastic.
I wonder what it would do with a TDI engine in it... Maybe that could be a new trend, stuff small Diesels in old sports cars. A 602 powered MG Midget would be cool! How about a 603 powered TR-7

That is very interesting. Looks like a new CAT engine. That engine can't be cheap. Wonder how he mated it to the transaxle? Car itself looks a little worn. When I was in France a few years ago I noticed some small Fiat sedans with Yanmar diesels.

One word: Perkins 403D-11... Painted up butterscotch and re-badged as a Cat.

Anyone know what's the torque rating on that engine, and it don't look like a cat engine, you gotta have lots of $$$$ just to buy a small CAT engine...

The Cat engine designation is a C1.1. It's only an industrial engine.
It's more at home in something like this. +x(430)+q(80))

Oh, I dunno. 66 cu in. must make about 50 ft lb of torque. With taller gearing I bet it would be fine.
I wonder if you could bolt it in to a Honda Insight? 100 mpg, I'll bet.
