Given that half the bikes I know are having problems with those Punsen engines I'd be a bit wary of using it as the centre piece of a build. Saying that, I camped next to Adi in Hamm and he told me that he owns a Royal Enfield with a Punsen. He didn't mention any problems. I mention him because he then went on to say he's just acquired a Morgan (4 wheel version) and shipped it out of Southampton to Germany. The exchange rate being so good at the moment we are being plundered for all our machinery :D

I should restate this. A morgan kit like this would look awsome with a twin cylinder (V twin) diesel engine up front. Don't matter if it's a Punsun or a Zimbobo. A reliable engine would be a pretty damn good idea though :P

Right :D Yeah the Punsen wouldn't make enough HP to move the car much :)
