The 63 engine is totally different to the 55 one, and would be alot harder to install. But nothing is impossible ;)
 
There is no substitute for cubic inches.

I sat behind a Bristol 412 Beaufighter with a 7 litre turbocharged Chrysler Hemi V8 on Wednesday, (report to follow) and my, what a sound and what astonishing performance.
 
Buy a new 43 and convert it.. don't mess with the perfection
 
A C43 went round the outside of me on a roundabout in Basingstoke many years ago and sounded better than the SL55 I was driving (which wasn't going slow) and.. much better built, but that's another story. Assuming you don''t have two tone seats (not to my taste) I'd leave it exactly as it is.

Beautiful cars. Future classics, no doubt.
