I have a 1968 Mark III and would like to swap out the engine, 
transmission, and rear suspension.

Does anyone know of popular swap outs?

I found the information on "The Beast" with the 350 V8, and even though 
I think that's really neat, I was looking for something a little 
more tame, like a small V6 or perhaps a Miata 4.

I hope this isn't considered sacriledge.  I just think the drivetrain is 
the weak link in the Spitfire.  I like the looks, the weight, the size 
and the front suspension.  If I can stick in a 120 HP lightweight 
hig-revving motor with a 5-speed, and ditch the swing-axle rear end, I 
think it would be a blast!

Thanks,
