Any compact shaft drive motor cycle engine and gearbox could be made to fit. The K75 is a "flat" engine so you may have problems with getting it to sit properly in an A7 chassis. It will certainly have a bit more get up and go than any A7 engine, and has already been stated your biggest headache will be trying to stop it. If you decide to go ahead please keep us updated with a photographic record of your progress. Such conversions are not unheard of. Someone has fitted a Suzuki Jimny engine in an Austin Ruby and there already exists an A7 special with a Honda CX V twin. SV Ford conversions were "de rigueur" in the day.

I would have thought a Honda Pan European ST1100 V4 would be a better bet...
