  Consider a 1275 from a later midget. I went from a 1098 to a 1275
 in my 71 and buddy was I impressed ! you'd probably want the tranny
 too. But hang onto and rebuild the 948 with matching numbers, the
 car with that motor is worth more. So.. 1275 for driving and fun..
 the 948 for sale.
 Just my $.02
