How about a "green" Healey? Drop-in a diesel and run it on 
vegetable oil.

Years ago some (Dennis Welch?) put a London taxi diesel
4 cylinder in a 100. IIRC, it was pretty much a straight drop-in
(being similar blocks), with the difficulty being the change to
the diesel bits.  

Good luck sourcing a 4-cylinder eninge, gas or oil burner.
