Thanks, Tim.  I don't know if there will be a space contraint until I attempt to put the engine in.  The fact that the builder of the 907 powered MG had to use the healey solution tells me that I may need to think about the same problems in my car, as it is designed around an MGB donor.  Did Jensen use an asymmetrical axle set on the Healey, or did they use an offset differential to create the 2 inch offset?

On a topic more germane to the creators of this list, how hard/expensive is it to obtain parts for a Jensen Healey?  My interest in the car has increased a good bit since I rediscovered it a couple of years ago.   I noted that the one that I am getting my engine from did not get any bids on that unmentionable auction site, even with a $600 no reserve start.  Pretty cheap for a complete car!  Do the 907 engines continue to deserve their reputation for fragility, or are newer components available to make them more reliable?

Regards,
