The car will take a dry sumped (race) AJP 4.5 V8 without modification, or road car (Cerbera) AJP V8 in either 4.2 or 4.5 size with minimal modification (a chassis cross brace under the engine needs to be removed).

Alternatively a Rover V8 could be fitted, although this would need more substantial mdification to engine mounts, prop shaft and gearbox mounts, plus engine loom and ECU. Graham on PH has just fitted an RV8 to my old Tuscan racer. tvrolet is fitting a Chevvy unit to his.

A S6 engine will not fit.

The other mods required will include lighting, fuel tank and pumps, glass screen etc etc. It can be done - Steve Howard at Thames Valley Racing has converted quite a few now.
