I think an Alvis Stalwart with a freelander body on it is the answer!

My 2p but I reckon if you got a K series with the block and head in good nick, then rebuilt it with cleaned castings and all the uprated components, then you stuick it in a FL with en EWP and well sealed cooling sytsem you'd not get HGF once.
Someone might even do that one day :scratching_chin:.......

It probabley would of been but there was another engine there to try so I did.
When the 3rd one was nackered I'd had enuf of it and scrapped the car.
Even if I found a good one there is no saying how long it would of lasted.
