Hi list. I am thinking about dropping a 1500cc Spitfire engine in my 62 
Sprite after the body work is done. Will there be much problems with the fact 
that the Sprite is pos ground and the Spitfire is neg ground? Would I be 
looking at rewiring the Sprite to take the 1500? It's this or find a master 
rebuild kit for the original 948cc which nobody seems to have. If nothing 
else is there someone that has a Spridget engine that runs good that will 
work with pos ground? Thanks in advance.
