Old BMC engines from Austins, MGs sometimes used as replacement for the Continental 61 inch flat heads, IHC cubs, Wisconsins. Later the Nissan 210 and 310 engines with trannies used in second gear or 1st gear, sometime in reverse- in some northern states good engine and trannies in bodies that had salt rot and front suspensions collapsing from fender wells rot, rear subframes rotted were handy auxiliary power units 1200 to 1500cc Ohv 4 cylinders, hydraulic or cable clutches- set ups like the IHC U2 power units with selective speeds. I know a guy with a wood splitter using a 140 inch Ford, manual transmission driving hydraulic pump- tranny in second gear, fast idle set for about 1500rpm. Ugly, clumsy but workable where set up to side of house. Some of OHC small Japanese engines had a LP industrial version with a short duration camshaft available for better torque at lower speed, governors, aux power/PTO output boxes- Car engines can be setup close to those units with salvage parts. Japanese small car engine with aluminum blocks, iron cylinder and some time thin cast iron block/ aluminum heads are lighter than say a Chevy 2 derived engine. Up to mid 1980s means hardened valves but no computer, carb still used, and fair amount of parts available. Chevette engines have been put in Garden Tractors, some power units as well. Little VW engines handy as noted but getting expensive since collectors after them-at least locally central Wisconsin. RN.
