Engines are identical. Transmission is slightly different (shifter located
different) Some small differences in pollution control, etc, however, you
most likely can pull those off the toasted engine. If your '75 has dual
SU's I want them and the manifold as payment for the info! :) They could
use the old midget carb anyway. And a spitfire deserves them more :)
Seriously, I manuals for both, if you or your buddy need any info, I'd be
happy to scan and send you pages, etc.

Greetings Folks, would anyone know if the 1500 Spitfire engine could be
used in an MG midget? My wifes co-workers MG engine apparently got
toasted and I happen to have a 75 Spitfire parts car with a good motor
I'd like to find a home for. I'm assuming there are at least small
differences if not large ones, such as not fitting at
all............Thanks, Kevin
Still cold and rainy in the northeast..... :-(
