On the subject of engine conversions, apparently a company called VL Automotive, run by Bob Lutz, is planning to offer a V8 petrol conversion for the Tesla Model S luxury electric car. VL has already done a similar conversion, using a Corvette engine, on the Fisker, which was a similar but less successful luxury electric car.

So that set me thinking, what would your favourite engine conversion job be?

I used to think a Daimler/Turner 2.5 V8 in a Morris Minor Traveller would be interesting.

But now, if money was no object, I'd like to put a Perkins 4.99 4-cylinder diesel engine into a Ferarri 250 GTO and then take it to America and show it to Bob Lutz!
