I have a 77 Spit and I am looking to swap in a more modern reliable drivetrain. This is what I am looking at: 2.0L Ford Zetec (ZX2 or Contour) or a 2.3L Ford Turbo (from a Turbo T-Bird or XR4Ti). I n

I have a '70 Spitfire MK III that I acquired about 3 years ago, after almost an entire summer of work I had it running for just a few weeks. The carb has given me nightmares. The little 1.3L with 4 s

That engine is heavy. Cast iron block and heads alone probably weigh as much as the whole Spit engine. Look for something that has an aluminum block. I'd bet the Rover/Buick V8 weighs much less than

Roger ... here's something else to think about. 1) Dual SU carbs. 2) Header + free flow exhaust. 3) Panasport wheels. The carbs and exhaust could add 20 hp, and the wheels will knock off about 50 pou

As I've mentioned before, my dream Spit swap is using the 2.6 4cyl intercooled turbo from a Starion/Conquest. My next project car is going to be the ultimate street Spit, using the above motor, just

I'm sure this would be a great conversion. This is what those "Legends" and "Midget" sprint cars run. Fabricating the mounts would be a challenge, as would hooking the thing up to rear wheels (not t
