even cooler to me ( and my dad since he owned one wayyyy back when ) was the austin healey 3000 converted to an alfa 2L drivetrain  the owner was saying the alfa motor was actually a little more powerful, and only weighed half of the original tractor I6. unless the alfa engine was modified though, i suspect the original was more powerful - just weighed a lot more, thus slowing it down. i do think the classic british sixes ( triumph, austin, jag, aston ) do sound wonderful  personally, i would have kept the original iron lump for classic originality . . . but it was still neat nontheless.
