Good question .

Find me measurements of the stock drivetrain and I can measure a f20 w/ tranny here and tell you if it might fit .

I sold the Bugeye we had so I have nothing to look at .


A dream project I have in mind would be a 356 roadster with a turbo k20 drivetrain .

a bit OT but lets hypothetically say someone dammaged rather significantly a front fender and some surrounding items on a 1960 MGA. what would be some good local (let's say local to southwestern NH) bodymen who do work on antiques? as I would assume it take a little more than just someone who is good with modern bodywork.

depending how bad the damage is you could fix it of replace it with new panels from Moss Motors

MGA body panels


You have Clasic Chassis in Hooksett ,NH --specializes in clasic car restoration

Most all our work go's through AutoCity of Manchester , NH

Nothing that 140 additional hp won't cure.
