Not sure how creative this is, but about six months ago I ran across
someone with a Jensen-Healey that had been retro-fitted with one of these
Buick/Rover V8. The couple driving it said good things about it.

Unfortunately, they bought the car after the V8 retro-fit and couldn't tell
me much about hot it compared to the original Lotus engine. Oh well.

Take care
