Thanks for the information. It seemed that many of the old topics said that
the drive train is too complex and therefore creates a lot of friction and
that the transmission system is somewhat reversed, which further increases
the dificulty of motorization. I tried to attach two gear-reduction motors
slightly under the engine (engine had to be raised a bit to allow them to
fit), so that they wouldn't have to use the chain (which can sometimes
create a bit of friction) and it seemed to work quite well when the car was
raised off the ground, but the vehicle wouldn't move at all. I need to try
some more stuff with this...
