Thinking about a bigger engine for my acty pick-up, anyone done this before? Maybe with a motorbike engine? Also, how easy would it be to covert from 2wd to 4wd?

Engine swaps would be awkward on a Honda I would imagine.
The actual 2WD to 4WD wouldnt be too difficult, but it would be both expensive and time consuming.
I think it would be simpler and probably less expensive if you sell your existing 2WD truck.

Well, I've got me a Suzuki SV650 engine for my Acty. And work should start within the next couple of weeks. I work in an engineering workshop so fabricating engine mounts, exhaust, drivetrain etc...
Will keep you posted with the progress and maybe records and pics of the parts I've made for future projects.
OOOOH yeah! V-twin power at the rear!
(might want to upgrade the brakes I think?)
