- Thought I'd add my 2 cents. I know a guy here in Austin who's putting the Rover V8 into a GT6. The Rover engine is really light (less than some Toyota 4 cylinders!) so he thinks he shouldn't have too

- I think that by swaping the engine the car is no longer THE CAR you had. It might be a Spit on the outside but not in the inside. I changing my cars too much from what they were made as. Sure a bette

- Well, yes, virginia, the GT6 motor will fit in the Spit. The suspension is a little weak, the brakes are a little weak, and the differential and Spit rear axles won't last very long. Common racing be

- Whew! With all this talk about engine swaps, I'm suprised that you all forgot about Frankensprite. (or maybe you didn't and don't want to hear about it) It's been about a month since the last update
