Hi James,

Thanks for the comments dude. I'm still looking for a spitty. The one I wanted to buy has gone The quest continues.

Hi Nick,

I'm only going on what I read on the spitfire forum. There is a guy who supercharged his 1500cc lump using a mini SC unit.

that's working still. I understand the 1300cc is revvy and the 1500 has the torque (spittys) I did read about the 3 bearing crank.

Now that's a good picture!

My first idea was to supercharge the engine in the spitty but hmmm I'm not keen on that as the engines are not that great.

Now the b18ft with a rich mod ecu is around 170bhp.

I should also add that I'm not after buying a 300 to just strip the poor thing and throw it ...

Thanks guys,

So the gearbox is bolted direct to the diff?

Engine(clutch)==prop==gearbox/diff

Hello,

Fitting to a triumph spitfire.

that's the gear but if it 'would' fit???

I found these pictures which answer my question but now i'm left wondering how long the whole engine/gearbox setup is.

hmmmm anyone?

so the gearbox is mounted in the rear. Can anyone please provide a picture of this setup? thank you.

Hello,

I happen to have a b18ft engine from the 480 and I would like to know if the manual or automatic gearbox from a 300 series bolts onto the b18ft engine.

kind regards
