I have got a 1982 mark 2 Midas sitting in the garage awaiting a bare shell rebuild. What engine should I put in it and which end?

Gordon Murray (McLaren F1 ) put a mid engined Alphasud engine in one.

The car will be for road use only so this discounts bike engines.

Off topic....I was in the paddock at Silverstone many moons ago with my 'Bentley racing' father-in-law when we came across XP4, the F1 prototype. We mingled with the crowd around it and as I looked in the engine bay I turned to my father-in-law and said,
"It's a lovely car isn't it?"
My father-in-law, however, had been delayed looking at the interior and I found myself speaking directly to Gordon Murray in a McLaren Cars t-shirt.
"Yes it is, isn't it", he said.


Gordon Murray + Peter Stevens + McLaren money = Automotive perfection.
