on a second note, the torque of the 172 is higher, as you can see by the dips, but.. the willy gets the power down better, the engine pulls stronger..
Me thinks the 172s need a set of cams optimised for power on the second profile
the Willy hasnt got the VVT so the cam profile is far more...

Very interesting reading.
The second graph is indicative of all the 172s today.
Note that the williams can pull much...
These were taken at Snake Pass, inbetween Manchester and Sheffield.
Heres a few more.
Great day.

an important measurement would be from the gearbox bellhousing mating face to the inner wing (ie, length of engine if the original gearbox was maintained)..
the length of the actual gearbox bellhousing would be a bonus as the original gearbox in the 172 is the better option, the bellhousing...
Hi Teady, notice you have a v6 Laguna and 172..
can you do me a *small* favour ??
take a look at the 2 under the bonnet.
Would you think it was possible for the v6 to fit in the 172 engine bay ??.
I am non plussed about the technical problems of fitting the lump, just if it would...
aha, I found some specs.
Model 1996 and 1997
Weight : 942 kilos
150 nm by 4200 r/m.
Model (late) 1994 and 1995
Weight : 933 kilos
155 nm by 4250 r/m.
First model 1993
Weight : 938 kilos
155 nm by 4250 r/m.
Joe, and thanks for the input Nick.
(those are dry weights)
