Two potential solutions are available. The Brits, having less Spitfires than we, have developed a replacement ladder frame for the Spitfire. To see it and it's dimensions for, of course, English Fords, do wannop.co.uk, then click on Technical and click on chassis. This frame could be built to accept a Triumph/Kubota drivetrain, Miata drivetrain, Corolla/Kubota drivetrain ala Kinetic Vehicles or it's outside framework could be used to strengthen the Miata PPF (power plant frame) with very little increase in weight. IMHO, any of these would be a fun way to go.
