   Feb 23, 2018 · Re: Gearbox (transmission) oil change. Just did mine again last weekend. A 2' piece of hose and squeeze the bottles. My single rail fill is on the Drivers side, but the one shown on reply #5 is on the passenger side. Its a good time to clean the magnet on the overdrive also, if you have it.

   Apr 25, 2024 · Theory is great, but how much does this swap really help performance? Before the swap—and with the original single-carb unit properly tuned—our Spitfire produced 49 horsepower and 66 lb.-ft. of torque at the rear wheels, as measured on a chassis dyno. Remember, these cars were optimistically rated at about 70 horsepower at the crank.

   How much power does a Triumph Spitfire have?

   • The Triumph doesn’t have a huge amount of power on offer, but with just 670kg to haul along, performance is better than you might think – especially as the 1147cc four-pot was fitted with twin carbs, a spicier camshaft and a more free-breathing exhaust manifold. Which Triumph Spitfire to buy?

   What engine does a MkI Spitfire have?

   • MkI and MkII Spitfires were fitted with an 1147cc engine, but because these early cars are rare, you’re unlikely to find a car with one of these rather gutless powerplants. Even if you do find a first or second-generation car, the chances are the engine will have been swapped for a later unit by now.
