I have a buddy that has had a Jenson Healey sitting beside his house
collecting rust.  It has the Lotus engine in it.  A week ago or so I asked him
if he was still planning a restoration on the car.  He said no, the rust was
much worse than he thought.  He then mentioned that the engine would be fun in
a Spitfire.

So does anyone know what the specs are on this motor.  I know it has dual
sidedraft (Mikunis I think).  Anyone know the hp.

Now the big question.  How hard are parts to find?

ANyway just a thought.  Might be fun.

John
