Bob, et al. There is a nice historical article on the Kent engine on the
Morgan Web page under History. The last production car in this country
(the US) to use the "Kent" engine was the Ford Fesita.
However, based on Dave Bean's information, a Pinto engine could probably
be put in the 4/4s without much trouble.

I thought you were going to work on an article about your back seat
modification for the Web page.
