Exactly Tony,
A sports seven without the correct engine, is not a sports seven, I’ve had several cars with highly tuned engines, use them with mechanical sympathy and you’ll be fine.
I even used my full house Cosworth engined Lotus Super Seven for touring (spirited touring at that!) and it was as reliable as clockwork.
I looked at a Nippy some years back and it was perfect, apart from the motor, the original was “under the bench and didn’t come with the car, so it wasn’t a Nippy in my book. I didn’t buy it and never regretted the decision.
Tony, you are an example of a true enthusiast and your decision to use a correct engine is to be applauded, well done sir.
