Jody,
As for the Jensen 541, a few guys in the UK had fitted a BMW 6-cylinder
engine in a 541S. They did a very neat job and the BMW engine (a much
better engine than the old Austin lorry lump of cast iron) suited the
car very well. Because of the substantial weight savings they had to fit
other front springs. The handling and steering effort was very much
improved.
I think there are also one or two with a Datsun/Nissan 6 pot engine.
