does anyone have any experience with these engines I see Newmanz sells them but theres no details available for them

I looked into buying one, Newmans didn't have one in stock. You have to order them in. The price was about $650 if I remember correctly. That was complete. Motor, Electrics, Radiator etc, etc I decided to go a different way. Technically speaking they may or may not comply with the regulations. ie are they a road use motor. I couldn't be bothered in the end. Maybe later if they (and parts) become more easily available.

I dont see why you couldnt use one its not like its a performance engine i might just go for a air cooled oneas they are known and parts are available for them

They are a push rod engine so you are probably better off with the air cooled OHC engine.

I looked a while ago and could not find any spec. Weight, How Many gears, Stroke Bore. Anyone know this stuff?

52kg, Trimatic, 1 valve per cylinder. Bore & stroke; yes it has both.

or 4 on the floor.
Yeah I figured that might strike a chord with us older members, wasn't sure if I'd spelt it correctly. [quick google] Oh yeah, close enough

(we had a manual 4 speed kingy/monaro hybrid).
