[DeTomaso] NPC--Morris Minor help needed in SoCal

[Garth Rodericks]

Toss the Minor anchor and drop a Ford Z-tech in it. It'll be fast, fun, and more 
economical:

Honda V-Tech engine swaps are popular in the Mini too; don't know how feasible 
they are for the Minor:

Minor conversion to Toyota power:

Seriously, this probably isn't much help since she's looking for a shop to help 
her get the thing running, not a big project undertaking. Fun to dream though.
