Default Replacement engines for Bristol 6

Clyde,
Looks like you are doing a capital job on this project. Congratulations! If
I may ad from personal experience, you might want to consider getting a
spare Volvo engine. I did something like what you are doing some 30 years
ago using a strong reliable engine. It was a 250 SE Mercedes engine. As time
went by the engine I was using actually became rare and expensive in some
parts. Sort of backfired on me. I mention this as you + Son plan to keep
this car 30 or 40 years.
Cheers
Dorien
