Go for it mate, they are a relly easy conversion and i have all the measurments needed for making your sump, engine and g/box mounts too, you can pick up standard engines for about £350 on ebay, all you'll need is a decent pair of headers

Hi guys, sadly the bad storm of October 2013 wrote her off when my chimney was blown down directly in the path of my beloved granny causing extensive damage to the front A Pillar, but fear not as a new project is currently underway and all the running gear, engine etc will be finding a new home in a mk2 granny very soon, will be posting pics once the project gets underway
Cheers

Such a shame about the mk1 being destroyed. Look forward to seeing the Mk2 version though!
Where did you get your bonnet pins with the retaining wire from?
