heraldhabitat Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Just sent the log book away with the new engine number, starts RD which according to my info should be FWD, is it possible to convert to RWD why would anyone bother? I suspect it's been overhauled at some stage as there is no crank knock at all, never had a 1300 engine before that didn't clatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 RD is fwd, but in reality the basic block differs little to the rwd ones, therefore is interchangeable. You have the bonus of a nice revvy small crank 1300 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Seems typically Triumph that an FD engine is for a Rear Drive car, and an RD engine is for a Front Drive car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
