This could be a marriage made in, errr, um, France, that's it!
A FIAT 1.8L 4 engine and tranny assembly from a 124 or 131 will fit
into a Spitfire. Before y'all start laughing, these are actually good
engines and can be had with fuel injection.
A friend of mine dropped a carburetted version of this engine into
his spit. Performance was great. Unfortunately, the entire thing melted
down in the Oakland firestorm.
Of course, it might make more sense to just buy a 124 Spyder. ;-)
