Engine identity.

Anyone know what this engine is, fitted into a tiny Austin Healey, Frogeye Sprite.It's been imported back to the UK from the US so the general feeling is that it's American. Anyone?

 

Nissan 240Z

 

Yikes. I bet that one scoots.

 

Don't think they were overhead inlet/side exhaust

 

there was a guy in Coventry with Blown V6 in a frog and I have been in one with a 383 mopar lump in....trust me it wasn't so much fast as FFFFUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKIIIINNNNNN HHHEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
Oh and the motor looks like it could be a triumph (the rocker cover looks familier but I'm sure they wern't cross flow)

 

Maybe it's a TR6 engine

 

Koppa its definatly an engine ........well spotted .....ha ha ha

 

it isn't american...where is bluto...

 

Don't think so. My 260Z was decidedly different - not a crossflow design at all, everything on same side.

Stumped.
