I ran a SWB 2a on standard gearing with a 4.203 for a while. Fuel
consumption was high 20s to low 30s, with or without the caravan. Top
speed depends on where the engine came from, as they were fitted in vans
and all sorts of plant. The most memorable thing about it was the amount
of noise it made at 40mph.
