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?
