Title pretty much says it all. I have the drivetrain from a JDM ae86 in a 73 spitfire. It fits under the stock hood, and cut the 0-60 time in half. Image

For the benefit of our younger viewers (LOL always wanted to say that),
the Triumph Spitfire is a rather stylish English sportscar...

Congratulations on keeping a piece of history alive :)

Mine isn't that pretty tight now. Started out with a $900 spitfire that had been sitting over 20 years. Had it running on the stock engine then decided I wanted something better under the hood. Took a little over a month to swap it in, then today I had to set up a "manual" choke. Image. And here is a short video of the choke http://youtu.be/188BsMOfGvI.

Very cool! Where I live they salt the roads aggressively and you never see nice cars like this.
