what would be the reality of putting a tornado six in my XJ and injecting it. That would be the old 230cu overhead cam engine from the sixties.

i think a better question would be why the heck would you want to go through all that work for a smaller engine when you could go through the same amount of work or similar for a larger engine?

the tornado six had the same power #s roughly as any of the other inlines as far as I've read. heard a company in south america still makes them, so getting one could be easy enough. LOVE the time machine remark.
