Hi folks.
I have recently acquired a Bobcat 632. It’s old, maybe late ‘70s early ‘80s. It has a Ford 1.1L 4 cyl gasser in it. Maybe 30-35 HP. It’s called a KSG416 engine. They made a gazillion of em back in the day, but parts are getting hard to find. It’s seized up. That’s all I know for now, i just got it. The cylinders are now soaking in penetrant in the hopes of freeing it up in a few days, but assuming it’s a klunker, my question is what other engine can I put in there? It has to be small, there’s not a lot of room in there. I’m thinking if I can find any old 4 cyl ford from that era, I’d be fine. Like an engine from an Escort or Capri or something like that. Anyway, what are your thoughts / engine suggestions? I’ll post up a few pics when I get the time. Thanks!
