Ethanol powered Scimiter.

Ford designed the Essex engine to be both petrol and diesel, that's why it's such a heavy lump. So I am going to put six Ford(USA) 200cid pistons in it and convert it to use Ethanol fuel, Ethanol doesn't pink and anyone who remembers 5 star knows that more compression means more power.

Keep us informed on how you get on.

At the moment I'm looking to source some con-rods to fit the Mustang 200 cid pistons I need to connect them to the crank. As the compression distance of these pistons is 3/10 less than the original Essex pistons I need longer con-rods.
