I guess the other obvious one is the small Triumph engine as fitted in the Spitfire, Herald, Dolomite etc. Dead simple, parts are cheap and plentiful (as long as you don't pick an 803 or 948cc version) and they're light enough to cart any of the bits across the workshop on your own. If you want one to strip I have one or two in use as doorstops which you are welcome to take away...... Cheers, Bill.
