Wouldn't the Suzuki engine be a better fit in the Triumph, who's original hp and weight is closer to the Metro? My Spitfire seems to get poor mileage for being a 2000# 50hp car. (<30mpg), I would think the Suzuki engine would enhance reliability and livability with the obdII and fuel injection. Looks like the G10 has 2 more hp than the American version of the Spitfire, and you'd probably lose some weight going from Fe to Al.
I've got a rust free overdrive Spitfire for you if you want to give it a go.
