Hal -

I can't recall whether it was this forum or the BOC one that had some
discussion of other engines suggested/fitted to a Bristol. I do
recall one owner was well into a project to put in a Volvo engine, a
4 cyl I think. A Bristol sold recently in the US had a Ford Falcon
engine installed. Unless you are very lucky, obtaining a 6 cyl
Bristol engine and transmission is likely more expensive than your
original purchase!

Bob

PS My car was in MUCH worse condition when I found it, so don't give up.
