Yes, a GT6. Probably a 68 or 69 year model. Not sure about the compression
and HP. Conversion to a Spit is pretty straight forward
(since the GT6 is essentially a Spit with the larger engine. YOu need a GT6
bell housing and gearbox, along with the GT6 radiator.
You would be better off getting a GT6 and dropping the Spit body onto the
frame. That way you get all the brakes and suspension
components you really need for that extra weight.
