Looking for a later/larger engine that will suit my '57.
1600 for example, just something complete and ready to drop in.
Cheers

Sorry, left that part out.

I have the oval body on a '69 pan (the gearbox is from the '69)

what would be the best way to go? Originality is not an issue

Turbo!
C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

You'll find you'll need to modify the rear tinware to get the later engine into the early engine bay.
