I have a 1275/ribcase Bugeye. Trans is bad. Thinking of doing a Datsun 210 or similar conversion. Thinking of also upgrading engine. Is there anything beefy that will easily fit into a Bugeye (Like a

You will lose the nimbleness and turning ability of the car if you do that. However it will go like stink from stop light to stop light. IMHO, the only way to go and not wreck the engine weight to su

He could just go buy a Miata or a Z3 or a Corvette instead of chopping up yet another Bugeye. I still don't understand why anyone would want to do this to a classic car. I hope by the time I have th

We have a Bugeye with a GM 350 transmission, No it does NOT fit easily! There is considerable effort to make room modifying the tunnel. We also have a Buick V6 under the bonnet so I don't know how a

That's what I was looking for, thoughts and ideas from both sides. When I bought the Bugeye, it was in pieces and the 948/smoothcase had been replaced with a 1275/ribcase, so there was really no choi

Let me add two bits. Think about using a GM TH200. Yeah I know, they generally were junk when new but, a very dependable one can be built with today's lessons learned. They are small, very light, a d

I think that's the fundamental "discontuity" in the logic. The Healey is not a car of today. It's a car of yesteryear, and that's what's wonderful about it, and they "ain't making any more". To try t

Okay already, My point was that it didn't make sense to me to go back to a 948 because I drive the thing all over and enjoy the extra power of the 1275. If anybody out there has a 948 in their car (I

My logic is as follows. If you save one, you can hack one. Just chose appropriate examples for either senario. Has to be at a 1:1 ratio though. 69 sprite = restoration. 69 Midget = hack.

I can wholeheartedly agree with this, if I came off sounding harsh it was probably because of the "Big Amerikun Vee-Eight" concept which usually makes me convulse. My own cars are very similar in con
