It was a common swap in Germany to use OPEL engines or at least radiators in
Spitfires. Both of the older 4 cyl. engines were used. The 1100 ccm with 60 HP
and the 1900 ccm with 90 HP. These engines are allmost foolproof/indestructible
and were originally used in OPEL GTs and many other OPELs. For more information
try to contact a German Spitfire club. Joe Curry might have the URLs or mail
adresses.

P.S.: Automatic transmissions are an other subject and I allways thought its
something for handycapped.
