How about restoring it to its former glory, and keep it totally standard? Or am I missing something.
Like he said, then again I had thoughts about modernising old "classics" with better brakes, engine etc.
Didn't Vauxhall have a 2.3 in the Vectra around the 1997-2002 area?

Should be a Vauxhall engine of a similar age, what about a 3.3l straight 6 from a Viscount/Cresta? I think they actually fitted this in the FE
bodyshell.

That would give a whole 133 bhp (SAE) --- the Vauxhall Ventora was no ball of fire.
even the VX4/90 (with 112bhp iirc) was pushing the limits of the chassis, I wouldn't like to drive one with much more power than that.
