There are a few people on a BBS I belong to who are putting the old

from a late model Land Rover to get the displacemet up to 4.9L.

There was an outfit in MI that advertised a brand new 215 crate motor
installed in your Vega for $750 in the early 70s. That included everything!
Take the car and the $750 to them and pick it up later as a hot-rod! I did
think seriously about it. Good thing that I didn't have a Vega then...
