Discussion:
Engine compatibility

Hi Guys, I'm looking at an old Hyster H50 with the 4 cylinder Ford petrol engine (In Australia).
The engine has a suspected cracked block and these engines are not easily sourced here, so I was wondering if there are any other compatible engines, petrol or diesel, which would be more common.
Obviously a direct bolt up swap would be best, but will consider alternatives.

Serial number of trick would help but I'm going to bet it's an H50H/J a Perkins 4203/4203-2 will fit. Not certain about any others as you'll need a conversion plate to fit it to the transmission

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
