Another side-note on this transmission swap:
The is as far as one can take the stock factory Spitfire drivetrain.
The 1500 4speed, equipped with the overdrive option, and connected to the 3.27 rear differential are the end of the line for Spitfire bolt on components.
.
This will be a good test since as the rpms drop, so does the horsepower. Will the little Kubota's torque be able to carry the car over the roads at this reduced rpm while in 4th gear with overdrive engaged?

We shall see!
