  You are correct its been done on the Le Mans, not just on Rory's car 
on that link you listed but also my 34 Le Mans has A series motor, so I 
already have done this swap before (well I never finished the swap, the 
motor is in but the body is not finished).

  BUT now I want to do it on a 6 cylinder Singer, a much bigger Singer.  
The Le Mans originally had a 972cc 4 cylinder motor so the A series swap 
is a no brainer.  The reason I asked was because I now want to do it to 
the 6 cylinder car.  I think it was agreed to by most on this list that 
the power will be fine, even though I am moving down in cc's, I am 
moving up 30+ years in power and it will work.  This is the car its 
going into

   I am leaning towards the 1275 and a 5-speed from Gerard, I think it 
will work.

   Oh and the best part, I get to remove the 1098 from other car and put 
back in a ORIGINAL motor now that I have one to put in, so I get to keep 
one original car :)
