I was being sarcastic and recommending you just drive around in a Miata!  I 
like the idea of keeping a Triumph a Triumph.  Seems to me the engine is 
probably the most fun part to rebuild!

I did, however just see a guy with a very nice and clean bugeye sprite powered 
by a Mazda RX3 rotary.  It was amazing how clean the install appeared and it 
sounded very nice at idle.  When he drove away, it revved and revved!
