Re: ENGINE SWAPPING

Michael, I would suggest using a Lotus Elan engine. They are nothing more 
than a Ford Courtina block with a twin cam Lotus crossflow head installed. 
They are very durable, and are capable off making a lot of HP. It is small 
enough to fit underneath the Spitfire bonnet with no modification. These 
engines use the Courtina gearbox also, and they are comparable in size to the 
Spitfire gearbox, but much more durable. My two cents.
