What makes Alan Milyard different is he chops engines in half to make a different format engine, again with widely varying degrees of success.
There's a few other people who have done this - quite commonly with Ariel 2 stroke twins turned into inline fours, V4s and square 4s. Its also quite common to see OHC conversions to push rod engines.
The people I respect the most are those that create completely unique engines entirely of their own design, and my ultimate hero in this is John Britten.
As I said in a previous post what earns Alan Milyard attention is his "man in a shed" approach without much tech or engineering equipment. So I'm not surprised to hear he's used a Stilson on a Brough.
If thats really the only tool he had to do the job its makes absolute sense, and I'm damn sure many of us would do the same.
I'm not suggesting any of us (or AM) would recommend Stilsons as the correct solution, but necessity is the mother of invention.
