a near sleeper I drove (not mine) was a early '60s Austin Healey Sprite ( the bug eyed one) with a 327 chevy, 2 4 barrel holleys 3/4 race cam, rollers, custom headers, 4 speed trans, cut down positrack rear end. the only thing that gave it away were the carbs on the hood, and with a cover they were not obvious( unless you knew what a sprite should look like) the big problem with it was it shredded the right rear tire all the time ( torque would lift the left side of the car, not off the ground but enough)
and before someone asks I don't know how he got it in there, speculate ( well am certain) custom mounts and reworked body. If I remember right it would run in the neighborhood of 12 second quarters.
I saw and drove this in the early '70s once,left the country before I could find more out about it.
