I am quite interested in finding out more about this conversion, though it
strikes me that the better way to do it would be to put a spit body on a GT6
rather than a GT6 engine in a spit (avoids having to uprate everything, no?)
Does anybody have pointers to practical information on creating this
spit-6 hybrid?
