We have been talking. LOL. You could shoe horn a few of those motors in the cherry but you might have to do some serious cutting and modifing to make it fit and run. I know E10 Cherrys have a smaller engine bay than the N10's but am unsure about F10 engine bays.

If the can drop V8's into 1200's then you can drop one of your choice of engines into a cherry

something different go electric no box use hub motors with 20kws on rear wheels peak 60kws and place batteries in engine bay. You should have a 15-16 second Cherry if you use lifepo batts. Otherwise buy Sykines manifold setup run e85 on your a12 and get 160hp-180hp atw.

ga16de 78mm ca16de pistons for 1682cc - 163.4hp atw andonly using 40mm mikunis not 44mm which would make more, the info is mainly in spanish.

Yes, no need to swap out the engine -- an A12 can be awesome




Keep the A12, add twin carbs, and swap the F10 body for an E10 body

a thing of beauty and outhandled the rwd cars

That A12 motor sounds sweet in the video. Makes me want to hang on to my spare A12 engine and use it for another project. The tachometer shows 8000 rpm as redline. Is that because its a racing motor or would that also apply to a stock engine?

A-series including A15 can rev to at least 8500 RPM. Stiffer valve springs are required. A-series have forged cranks

A13 made 170hp vs 180hp 3K twin cam yamaha 16v

the yamaha toyota hybrid would make 10hp more
higher up but also last longer build to build
compared to the pushrod A series but rebuilding
a simple pushrod is so easy its childs play
