	Sitting deep in the "Shed of Dread" is the engine from a Dolomite 1500HL - engine number is YC-XXXX-HE which I've deduced is a high compression engine. That's good as it has a twin carb inlet manifold on it! What difference in spec is there between this lump and the 1500 that went into the Spitfire?

	From what I know (which isn't much on the small engines) there is very little difference. I 'think' a slightly milder camshaft was used in the Dolly but it's the same core engine
