If you've got the time and money!

I speak from experience as mine is actually a Herald 13/16 that someone spent £000's on in the early 80's upgrading to full MKII Vitesse spec.
I have a wallet with all the work done and all the parts they bought, as well as an engineers report and it's a good inch thick!

Needless to say it's not just a simple engine swap, you've got to do transmission, brakes, suspension etc... but anything is possible.

Personally given the cost and scale of the work involved of it, it seems more sensible nowadays to just hold out for a Vitesse?
