The engine used in the Albatross is derived from the Ford 100E 4 cylinder 1172cc sidevalve engine, its basically a marinised version of the car version without the gearbox. It is in excellent condition as it had just been renovated just before I bought it and many parts were replaced and/or refurbished. The only modifications it has are that it has been converted to use sea water for cooling and not cool from its fresh water tank as origionally made. An alternator has also been added (I beleive that they origionally came out with a dynamo) and the carb has been changed from an SU to a Stromberg Zenith one. A cutom made exhaust has also been added for aded efficancy and performacnce.
where did you get the ford 100e engine?
