   Oct 21, 2010 · The 1500 is a stroked 1300 and like all stroker engines, they make torque down low, but do not like higher RPMS. The 3 main floppy 1500 crank can live well at higher RPMS than a stock 1500, if rotating and recipricating assemblies are well ballanced and good ARP main studs are used.

   Oct 2, 2012 · Essentially, you will build a mk3, standard spec engine, with a few subtle improvements. At least 9:1 compression, is required, so use standard euro pistons, a standard mk 3 camshaft (25 65), or slightly bigger (30 70) is all that is required. 9.5 is better, and is just fine on 98 octane fuel.

   What engine did a Triumph Spitfire use?

   • While often lamented, Triumph’s 1500cc, four-cylinder engine is still owned and loved by thousands of enthusiasts.

Right off the bat, this larger engine delivered more torque than its predecessor.

   Is a MG Spitfire a better car?

   • There were more than 354,164 Spridgets built across 18 years, compared to 314,342 Spits in the same space of time; but whereas nearly a third of the latter (95,829) were 1500s, MG managed to shift just 73,899 of its Triumph-engined Midgets. I know the Spitfire is the better car in many ways, and the logical choice.

   What's the difference between a Spitfire and a midget?

   • Though narrow, it’s longer and where you sit buried deep in the Midget, in the Spitfire you sit proudly high, elbow naturally coming to rest on the door top with a wonderful view down that long, E-type-like bonnet across the twin humps of the front wings.

    The Midget offers up 65bhp alongside a top speed of 93mph, with 60mph topped in 13.8 seconds. The Spitfire can hit 60mph in 14 seconds paired with a top speed of 95mph from 75bhp. Neither are what you would call ‘fast’, but these cars aren’t about straight line speed - it’s all about smoothness.
