I am looking to buy a Renault 4 ( I had the 1100cc R4 35 years ago in the UK ) and the only examples I can find here in Cyprus seem to be the 850cc engine and was wondering how practical they would be for running me about as I live in the Troodos mountains ?
The Cyprus weather has kept them rust free but I am not sure if an 850 will be able to cope with the climbs up the mountains. I assume an engine transplant to an 1100cc would be the answer if I can get one, but I notice they have liners in the block and wondered if I could replace them with a larger sleeve and new pistons to raise the cc's a bit ?
Any advice folk's ??
