One of the sweetest conversions I have ever come across. P.S. The garage's site is no longer up, but it had pictures of a custom subframe in front and rear, plus its driven by a rear transaxle, so you know its balanced too.

Carbs look like SUs, orientation suggests a V engine. Cant think of any SU Carbed V6's so im thinking V8. Maybe an older Rolls Royce? Either that or something that has a rover v8 maybe?
