When I was in high school in the early 70's, there was a guy in town who stuffed a 426 hemi in an Austin Healy. It didn't have a hood, the heads were higher than the fenders and I don't think he could see anything in front of him, but it sure drew attention.
Sorry, off topic, but this thread brought back that memory.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">It just boggles my mind. For $850,000, they could buy all of these together: the best MkI and the best MkII on the planet, a Tiger race car AND still have money left over to buy a house or two, depending where you are in the country.
And heck, maybe instead of the house, a real Cobra too. I just can't imagine loving the idea of a V8 AH so much that you have to do this (and then immediately sell it and never enjoy the result).</p>

stuff a V8 into it? I would imagine doing it to an Alpine and spending a bunch of money to make it like a Tiger might make some sense. But what about a 4 seater Austin Healey that never came with a V8 option? How about $850,000??? Yes, you read that right.
They even have the list of invoices paid. At some point don't you say "wait, stop, dear god, how much is this going to cost me?" And then after ALL THAT MONEY wouldn't you think he would have had a reason to do such as driving it more than 300 miles before
putting it for sale?</span></font></span>
