Thanks, Phil. If the only cutting necessary to fit the engine is the battery
tray, that's nothing - but I suspect it's a little more involved than that.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a Lotus/Ford Twin Cam
in a Spridget- period correct, British, good looking and sounding engines...
and a lot more power than a 1275, even overbored. Only downside is cost of
engine/parts, and the additional weight.
Any chance to talk to the 66 Lotus-engined Spridget owner and find out what
is involved in fitting the engine? I would love to know what
transmission/rear axle-diff he is running too.

owner (who is a professional mechanic) said he had to cut out the battery
tray.
