Spit engine

["Mike Rose" <lytspeed@hotmail.com>]

I have an opportunity to buy a MKIV Spitfire for a really cheap price and I
think the thing would make a good autocross car.  The engine is a 1500 but is
in pieces and I don't really want a 1500 anyway.  Does anyone have a decent
Spitfire engine for sale?  Also, has anyone ever tried to put a TR3/TR4 engine
and trans in a Spitfire?  Would the diff and axles hold up to that sort of
conversion (I already have a decent TR3 motor and TR250 trans.)?
