They did one of those on car SOS a while back.  They had to drop a different lump in it so it could keep up with modern traffic.

The 6 cylinder 2 litre lump from the Vitesse should fit without any problem. :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Way back in the mists of time a friend of mine owned a 1965 'C' plate Herald 12/50.

I remember we maxed the beast out at an 'indicated' 77 MPH.

It felt as though it was doing 150 MPH. :y
