I know of one in the US that had a small-block Ford V8, trans and rear end stuffed into it, but I have no idea where it is now.

One way of solving the parallel parking issues I have weak upper body strength!
Plenty of twin spark 2L 105 series around so shouldn't be too difficult (says he in dreamland!). Seriously - it probably would be cheaper too, so long as you have the ambition and staying power!

If I had it to do over again, I'd look more seriously into doing a dry sump conversion (to provide more ground clearance), but otherwise I got it right on the first try, which testifies to it no being too difficult.

Hi, thank's for your response,sorry for the slow reply,I have a long way to go before I get to the engine swop but it certainly doe's not look too duanting now.I should say that I to have a 105 with a twin spark (2ltr) in it.

Arfamo.

Theres this one, a 2000 Spider with a Oldsmobile 3.5ltr aluminum v8. Sacrilegious enough?  |

There is a guy in the UK currently planning to put a 3.0V6 from a 75 into his 2600 Spider. I am awaiting more info from him but when I have some I will pass it on.
