Don't forget to add NHTSA regulations. Google 1967 NHTSA regulations for an eye opener. Dual circuit brakes, crush zones ...
Beating a Chrysler motor to fit would have been easier.

I did this once before, so I know I'm going to feel stupid when someone
tells me the trick....
I'm trying to get the gauge out to upgrade the hose. I can get one of the
knurled nuts on the U-bracket free, but not the one on the top. I have the
speedometer out, and am reaching in through that hole, able to get a finger
or a finger and a half on the nut. But not enough to turn it,
It didn't look like removing the tach would provide any better access.
Does anyone out there know a trick?
Stu

While I have no idea about the Chrysler engine fit thread I was aware that the inability of clearance available to accommodate the rear position of the distributor was THE issue for the demise of the Tiger.
I have seen several Tigers with what looks like fairly dramatic firewall notching, mostly all to accommodate Weber Carb installation. Just wondering if that might have worked/been a possibility. Probably would have been to expensive a change to tool for.

Another part of the problem was where to relocate the heater core and
re-route the air vent hoses and coolant hoses.

IIRC Chrysler V-8's of the era not only had the distributor problem, but
they were also much wider. The budget to do a major redesign of the engine
compartment, as well as meet the new '68 safety (or was it bumper?)
requirements was not there, So Tigers ended in '67.

Stu is the winna...
Urban myth is just that, a myth when it comes? to Sunbeam Tiger
distributors and engines causing it to be discontinued.
One good description from:
https://autouniversum.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/1968-u-s-lawmakers-introduce-automotive-safety-standards/
The first set of rules took effect exactly fifty years ago, January
1968; less than fifteen months after the agency was established.
Most of the new regulations simply codified best practice; requiring all
vehicles to have padded instrument panels, recessed inside door handles,
non-rigid armrests, breakaway inside mirrors, labeled controls,
twin-circuit brakes, two-speed wipers covering a minimum percentage of
the windscreen area, a left-hand outside mirror, reversing lamps and
four-way hazard flashers.
Other regulations required new features: energy-absorbing steering
columns, a warning lamp for brake circuit depressurization, minimal
post-collision fuel spillage, front and rear side marker lights or
reflectors, and windscreens with thicker-interlayer safety glass and
improved retention. Finally, all vehicles had to survive a 30 mph (48
kph) crash into a concrete barrier demonstrating survivability of
standardized test dummies in the front seats.
etc...
