Interesting Engine Suggestions

I am quite fancying an engine in my living loom, I have a vision of a Harley engine ie plenty chrome and nice to look at, but have you seen how much a used Harley lump is - EEEEK



V Twins have lots of appeal, but I could be swayed toward an oldy single pot job from a vintage. The Japanese pretend Harleys have plenty chrome etc.



Any suggestions, dont want to spend a fortune as always.

lister cs

I have a couple of listers, one a cs and the other a D, might be a bit big for a living room but if you can find a dynamo you could run your workshop from it,





Where did that go?

Try phoning the main dealer and explain what you want - I would have thought there will be an engine that has been siezed somewhere, that you could get for a reasonable sum - unless you wanted a working engine in your lounge of course!

How about a moto guzzi? My guess is that they'll be cheaper.
