How 'bout Spits?  Would the same unit go on an early Spitfire engine?
Can you even still find these things laying around?

        More FFT, the Judson propaganda for the TR-3 assembly (which
        is what's going on my 4) claims 148HP peak output from an
        otherwise unmodified TR-3 engine.  With headers, a ported and
        polished head, and a few other tweaks, I can see getting 
        ~160 from a 4/4-A setup.  That's not too shabby.  Of course,
        we'll have to see what it actually puts out once it's on
        there, but that's half the fun, non?
                                                                -MM
