Converted my MkIV Spit to 2.8 Straight 8 power the other night, unfortunately
1500cc and 4 cylinders were in the boot(trunk) :-)
I had to pick up an engine I had stashed in a barn Monday evening, so the old
Spit became pickup truck!!! Which it did admirably, the back end did sit much
lower than normal even with a complete engine in the back, although it did
handle a tad funny, the steering didn't feel too direct, although the back end
didn't seem to want to slide either!!! :-) Nearly popped a kidney out my ass,
oops, sorry arse(I'm English) though when I lifted the damn thing out on my
own. hopefully check it over and get it fitted sometime and check the theory
that 1500's can't take a thrashing :-)
Cheerio
Rich
ps, sorry for the pointless message. :-)
