I have been researching the Pace Engine.

Perhaps the myth about it came from the Pace 125 C.C. version of the Victa 125 C.C. engine.

I was recently talking to someone who's grandfather worked at a Victa work shop, when I asked him what he knew about Pace engines he told be that Pace designed them to be like a Victa 125 C.C. engine but with the carby and exhaust on different sides.

The guide to pre-1964 Pace models that is shown on Vintagemowers.net calls Victa engines "Pace 125 c.c. engines instead of Victa engines.



Both of these match up to the Victa/Pace engines of the late 1950s. The "Pace 125 C.C. engine" had the carby and exhaust on the opposite side of the Victa 125 C.C. engine. This would match what I have been told by relatives of Victa shop workers.




I am still trying to find information about the "Pace 125 C.C. engine" including engine numbers and pictures. I have not seen the front of the engine yet and I would like to see if it still has Victa cast into the crankcase. Perhaps Victa was trying to hide that they owned Pace.

Thanks For Reading!
