After '54, series II Mets had BMC B series engines in them. In 1200 or 1500 cc versions. That's the MGB's engine family. In the MGB, they were stretched to 1798cc, 100hp and electric OD could be had. MGB parts are plentiful. I would look there. It would keep up with modern traffic. I have a '78 Triumph Spitfire organ donor for my '65 Triumph Herald. That's, more or less, the beginning and end of that chassis' family. Mike
There is one near where I live that has a 2.8 Liter 60 degree Chevy V6 in it. It is surprising how easy that installation looks to be. It is a rather neat little car.
Anything is possible…… From back in my high school days. Jim’s son actually drove it to school one day. They’re still in business, don’t know about the car.

Here is the Kustom I am currently building. Lots of work done, lots to go. Convertible top is being chopped to look like a carson top.
