Hi all,
I'm all a bit new to these things, I fell in love with a 1960 SII with a perkins (not sure which yet) think it's the 4236, and parted with the cash without knowing much. She's in reasonable nick and was owned by the first owner for over 40 years.
The guy I brought it from has just had the gearbox rebuilt and have (afterwards) read these engines like to strip gearboxes
It's got loads of grunt if not much top end, but whatever speed it does it's enough for the steering and brakes when combined with my nerves
What I'm wondering is, as it's a box eater could I put something else in, Auto would be great, any advice really welcome.
Cheers
Miles
