[TR] Spitfire engine number

[Andrew Mace]

Bill, that would be a fairly early 1971 model, USA-spec. engine. Note
the "HE" suffix, indicating a High Compression engine. These still had
something like 60-65 hp in stock form. It's also pre-recessed-bore
specification (FK....UE suffix for the 1296 and also on all "1500"
engines).

Triumph Herald engine with wings.

I have a Spitty engine in my shop with the stamped number FK6630HE.  I
have been totally unable to track it down (year, model, etc.).  Anyone
know what it's from?
