Larry, V-6's usually fit better due to the piston angle (60 degrees for
V-6 vs. 90 degrees for V8). The main problem is avoiding the steering
shaft with the engine and exhaust.
The GT6 is a natural since the GT6 was built from a basic Spitfire
chassis to start with. All you need is the stuff in front of the
engine and the GT6 clutch hardware and Tranny.
By the way, I want the Commission #, color, and location of your
Spit for my Spitfire database I am constructing.
