I rode in a fellow lister's Spit-6 on Saturday, and let me tell you,
it was SCARY!

Not that it was overly front-heavy, but he did say he was going to
have to put heavier GT-6 suspension bits up front to handle the extra
weight.

The engine is a stock GT-6+, I believe, and has dual Stromberg carbs. 
He's running it through a Monza quad exhaust system - it sounds sweet!

The thing that I can't get over is how FAST that thing is - just out
of the box!  And, he hasn't tuned it yet or anything.

I liked it so much I'd consider it for my Spit if I had the engine...

He's running it through the Spit gearbox and rearend, which, I think,
are the same anyway...

How 'bout it, Isaac?  Did I miss anything?

'71 Spit MKIV - 4 cyl oil leaker
extra 1296 engine - anyone wanna swap for a GT-6 engine?  :-)
