Nuts!?!?
You love the look of the little Spitfire but want some more GRUNT?!?
You're all too sane my freind!
Anyway, many others have had this feeling and if you look around on the
internet you'll
find everything from an Offy 255 to a TR6 to a Ford V6 to a Chevy 350 has found
a home
under a Spit bonnet...
One thing I thought of... there's a guy with a genuine Cosworth Vega engine for
sale @
http://www.TotalAdvance.com/cos16.htm ... the big book of engine weights lists
this as
285 lbs. or about 30-50 lbs lighter than the stock Spit engine. Shoud be good
for
140-160hp.....
Good Luck!
