 looking quickly other street cars of the time, a 1959 Porsche 356 A had a=
 1.6 liter engine; I don't know about the Porsche "speedster" or even if i=
t was different, other than James Dean died in one.&nbsp; The 1959 MGA had=
 a 1.6 liter.&nbsp; The Jaguar XK 150 had a 3.8 liter engine.&nbsp; Karman=
n Ghia had between a 1.1 and 1.3 liter engine.&nbsp; As far as I can tell =
the Fiat 850 started in 1964, with an engine a single strong man could see=
mingly lift.&nbsp; The Sunbeam Alpine was a 1.5 liter.&nbsp; The Austin Ma=
rtin DB4 was 3.7 liters.&nbsp; Couldn't quickly find the big Healeys four =
and six cylinder engines.&nbsp; The Bugeye Sprite was a 0.948 liter; my si=
