Tom Sabo writes about Spitfire engine swaps:

I saw a spitfire with TR6 engine and GT6 bonnet once.
I had the aluminum 3500 V8 in a MK II
I have also seen a rotary in one.

     >>For several years now there has been a silver
     Spitfire present at the All British Day in Palo Alto
     (Ca.), that sports a Chevy 350/4spd, and narrowed
     Corvette rear-end. Not the expected hack job hotrod
     either but a very sanitary install. Excepting the
     wire-mesh cooling cutouts in the bonnet, you really
     cannot tell what's under the hood from it's outward 
     appearance.
