There was a company who are doing a drive in drive out service. Was featured on pistonheads. ETA motorsport rings a bell?
Price is around the £8k mark.

Willnz has done/is doing this conversion,he may well be able to help.
My understanding is that it is not a conversion for the faint-hearted or the short arms/deep pocket type zoner.
Engine fits the bay,after the n/s chassis rail is modified to clear the alternator,exhaust and electrics are do-able with the right skills,the real issue is finding some-where to mount the brake servo and master cylinder....
Not too sure that a cabbie is the right base,either,or perhaps I'm just getting too old!
