Go to a mid-engine setup like the 1980's Dodge vans where the motor was by
your side. Have to increase the body width a bit though if you wanted
passenger seating. ...bill in oregon

There is a local fellow and his son that wrapped a bugeye body around a Big
Block Hemi.
I say wrapped around because they built a custom chassis including
suspension.
It is yellow and has been discussed here before.
If I were to put a V8 in a Spridget it would be a rubber bumper car since
they are stronger overall. It would go in way farther back than a stock
setup. They can be had all day long for 500 to 2000 bucks.
Lets say you buy a Big Healey for 10K and drop a V8 in. It is still worth
10K maybe 15.
It left stock it is worth 20K once running
