Paul,
I don't know exactly where the 911 interferes with the Jensen-Healey, but I would think all the Lotus 2.2 liter engines would have the same issues. The 907 engine wasn't as stiff as it should have been, so Lotus widened the bottom/ main bearing panel on the 910/ 911/ 912. The cylinder block itself is basically the same right down to the joint line with the MBP, but the MBP flares out wider as it goes down. It has a double outer wall... original wall, space, then a second, flared-out wall that's wider overall at the very bottom. Of course, the sump also got wider to match.
I've seen 910 Turbo based engines fitted to Jensen-Healeys, so whatever the problems are, they must not be insurmountable.
Tim
