Non OE Engines Fitted in Pre 80s cars

[prideaux]

It was suggested to me today that an interesting Thread to follow up on the early TVR Pictures thread would be one of what engines people have retro fitted into early cars they actually jokingly said what engines haven't been fitted as there is a real history of people modifying there cars but in thinking this might get silly.

I know there are a lot some that may have been one offs either by the factory or those connected to the factory I will list a few from my limited knowledge.

Daimler V8
Rover V8
these come into this category then

Ford Cosworth
Alfa
Ford Durotec

Just to start this off with some pictures here is one of the Cosworth cars
