There was a nice 100-Six with a 280-Z motor in it at the last weekend's Gulf
Coast Healey Club (Houston) meeting.
The installation was so clean, if you didn't know what the Healey motor
looked like, you would have thought it was stock.

A friend just told me of someone he heard of slipping a Honda S2000 engine

the Local All British Meet a few years ago with the Toyota Dual
Cam 1.6 engine and 5 speed box with some kind of modified front suspension
and
independent rear...it looked sweet and would certainly be quick...maybe not
as quick as the S2000 engined one but it was a nice install. Many years ago
at
the request of someone else, a friend of mine put a 327 and four speed in a
Frog Eye...didn't need the gears, it was crazy fast starting in 4th gear...
