Base car is easy so no points for that; 1 point for giving the name this car is known by and what powers it?:

Yes. No points for that though of course...

The bodywork is from such a car but I'm afraid that's not the answer - too easy if it were!

Ignoring the typo, yes!
According to one website, the 6.6l (402 cubic inch...a 396 big block bored .030 inch over, either by the builder or by GM when a batch of 396 castings were discovered to have a core shift...they were sold variously as 396, 400 or 402) motor wouldn't pass emissions testing in the Scandinavian country in which the owner lived. That doesn't surprise me with a Donovan motor. If it was built like many of the other motors produced by Donovan Engineering, it would have been pretty radical and would probably not be real "clean." As a result it was replaced by a Chevy smallblock motor. That could be anything from a 265 to a 406, most likely a 350, possibly a 305.
I suppose the photo is the process of the motor swap.
