Forgot about that one.

Here's another:

Morgan Areo 8



and one more:

Defender 2.8i, South African only.



...and the RR P38 2.5 diesels were M57s IIRC.

...and lets not forget the RRC 2.8i owned by moi!

I'm on the fence as I have too many projects already, and IDK if the trans/transfer case can hold all of 140hp, but it'd have to have functioning 4x4.

Lots of people use the Dana 18 TC with swaps, including 300+hp v8 swaps. It'll hold. Might want to upgrade the trans to a 4spd though, like an SM420 or SM465. The stock 3spd should handle 140hp fine though. It's strong, just not as strong as some of the more popular 4spds.

I cannot get over this car, it has been haunting my dreams. I don't ache for a car very often, but this one ticks all the boxes.

Crazy how 2 of the swaps are from South Africa. The S42 Exige (which I actually think I took those pics, about 5yr's ago), and the V10 Cobra.

I would punch a baby to get my hands on an S42.

Nothing to contribute but just gotta say I love that Bugeye Sprite. My dad had 2 when I was growing up, set up for vintage racing.

Speaking of Bugeyes.....



Friend is putting a Yamaha engine in one. IDK why, IDK where he got the idea, IDK IDK IDK, I just know he is doing it.

Oh my that is interesting! LOL at the woman putting groceries in the engine bay!

Ha thought I would get you with that one!

It was actually a kit car based on replacement M38 parts and a fabricated box frame. It worked out to be a really functional vehicle, I had long travel suspension and a bit more HP that made it functional over the stock kit that had like 2" of travel. I had done a lot of mods on it, I even had 911 disk brakes all the way around on it as well. 8^)

I painted mine up with red Imron polyurethane, I don't have many pics of it and they are on film somewhere... here are a couple of pics of the original brochure to get the idea
