There's always engine swaps into British sports cars like MGs, Triumphs and Austin-Healeys to consider. You can get a good idea of the range here: BritishV8 Forum:. The advantages are you can get cars with roll-up windows, convertible tops and some other minor creature comforts. You probably won't have to deal with jumping through the hoops of registering a kit car that some states put you through. On the other hand, you'll likely be dealing with rusty old cars that you will need to do some restoration work with before you even start the swap. If my home state didn't throw so many roadblocks into kit car registration I'd probably be driving a FF Daytona rather than my SBF-swapped Austin-Healey
