Mike,
I Googled to see what you have and it's a very handsome car. Much to
my surprise I found one with an A Series swap already done and also found you
as a site administrator on the thread:
http://forum.singercars.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=678 I think the 1275 would be
a great swap. Horsepower would be about the same as original and the motor
doesn't have that modern OHC look. Best of all, somebody has already done the
swap before so you won't need to reinvent the wheel. I just can't see putting
something like an S2000 motor in a car like this with an old chassis and
marginal brakes. The 1275 will let you get it on the road, not overstress the
platform and be reasonably reliable. Once you start trying to put a modern
fuel injection motor in there you are well on the way to building a hot rod
that doesn't seem to be like the direction you want to go in.
Looks like a
cool project.

I do have a friend with a wrecked S2000 that I could maybe get
the
engine/gearbox/axle from but before I do that, I think I would just sell
the car and let someone with lots of cash restore the original motor and
make
it a trailer queen.
