Fitting of engine

Thanks for the replies we got, but can anyone please tell us now if the W4A engine which came out of the 1924 Rugby model F will fit into our 1926 Rugby model M which has a W5A engine in it at the moment.

We are going to fit the W4A. Will we lose power?
Is this engine OK for this vehicle? Do you think there would be much modification required?
Thanks
Les & Josie

Re: Fitting of engine

Les, I'm sure you have a solid engine mount Rugby frame so the W4 will fit precisely in your frame with no modifications. There is no dimensional difference between the two engines.
Any loss of power will be negligible.
