William,
I've seen many a post from you about your Spitfire... it's good to
not be alone!
How much do you think it'll cost to do a GT6 engine transplant?
I think I'd need: GT6 engine & tranny, GT6 brakes, new motor mounts,
new radiator (I've got the slant radiator), GT6 bonnet.
Did I miss anything major? Is there anything listed that's NOT
needed? Oh yeah, and a car that fast should have a roll cage and
5-point harness :-)
Eric
