I certainly agree with both Mike and Joe.  Why would any Tiger enthusiast in 
his right mind want to hack up a MK II?  Or a Mk I, for that matter?  In my 
view, such an undertaking would not only be sacrilegious, it would certainly 
lower the value of the car.

If you want to put a Dodge V-10 into something other than a Viper or Ram, 
would you use a Geo Metro or a Flip-top Cobra?  I mean, these are tough 
questions here.  In case you choose the Cobra, I'm sure somebody who has 
already destroyed one will be happy to post extensive instructions to this 
list.

What do you think, Tim?  Maybe a tech tip on this could be used in the next 
STOA newsletter in lieu of the recipes?
