Like the title says has anyone swapped an LSx engine into a Austin Healy Sprite? I have a friend who has a couple and needs to swap an engine into at least one of them. I'm trying to get him to swap in an LSx engine!

I've seen a FOrd 5.0 in one. It was very tight and I'm guessing the added width of a LSx motor would be too much. It would be bad *** though

How about a Hemi in a Bugeye? No flares or hood scoop.

He said he has seen one (online I'm sure) with an LS1. It would be badass!

Wow, that's pretty awesome! A 478 fit in there so a 346 has to be able to fit! I'm sure they did major work to get the 478 to fit though.

Me and a friend are actually in the middle of swapping a LS1 into an Austin Sheerline. Just got it running the other night. It's gonna be awhile before it gets on the road though...

Don't know of any Sprites with LS1 but anything is possible. My Triumph Gt6 ls1 project is progressing. It's be cool, there aren't a whole lot of British Lsx projects on the road, or British V8's in general. Send some pics of the possible project cars if you get a chance, maybe someone could lend more insight to possible glitches.

A Sheerline, wow. That's a little bigger than a Sprite though. You have any pics of it?

Back "in the day" the 215 CID Buick/Olds/Pontiac all aluminum V-8 was a fairly popular swap into Sprites.

AIR, the BOP engine is about the same size as SBC -- so an LSX should fit.

I'm pretty sure HRM did a feature story on one ( late '60's ?).
