Ernie and Carol Vincencio have enjoyed their Jensen Healey since it was new in 1974, but never more than now since they've updated it with a Rover aluminum V8. Read the full story here - Ernie Vincencio's Rover V8 powered 1974 Jensen Healey - and let us hear your comments.

Very nice! I believe in keeping my JH as close to stock as I can, but I agree that is a nice conversion.

Nice looking car, shame about the backward headed engine swap. The original Lotus was a heck of a lot more interesting than just another old style American V8 hot rod swap is.

Why is it that I knew just from the thread title that it was a V8 swap. How typical. I've otherwise heard that the 3.5 doesn't really fit well into a Jensen Healey. Cross member - oil pan interference requiring specially made oil pan and oil pump pipe. The black paint and wire wheels do look good though.
