[quote=One good thing is that the engine orientation is the same as a Duratec so if you find a sikly Fiat 4/4 or +4 (as parts usually mean they are not in perfect health) a swap is not out of the question.....

Hmmmmm interesting. Is the business of putting 'foreign' engines into Morgans frowned upon?
I've been guilty of several engine changes over the years - mostly on Landrovers but also a GT6 convertible...
The Mazda MX5 setup would be a possibility - light, modern, reliable, points the right way in the car and readily available.
I noticed that the Fiat 2.0 to the M16 adds 200lbs (90kg)....
