A friend of mine here in Denver is putting a turbo Merkur engine in a Spitfire.
He is having to modify the bonnet. He is doing a first class job of it with a
fabricated suspension using a Mazda diff and disk brakes all around. It should
be scary fast.

They are alos tall. Especially in the front. Is your friend at the parts
store concerned about closing the hood?

P.S. I saw a 2.3 (non-turbo) in a Sprite once. Fast car but obviously
cobbled up.
