Peter, I can understand you wanting more power but I'm not sure you'll be happy with a motorbike engine.
The car will no longer be mot exempt.
The axle ratio might not suit an engine that likes to rev.
The axle might not be strong enough.
It might be easy to go a bit too fast for the cornering ability and you end up through a hedge.
At faster speeds you would soon find the brakes to be not good enough.
It will sound all wrong!
It might be difficult/expensive to insure.
Put your bike engine into a Morris Minor (and fit disc brakes) and put the Minor engine into the seven.
