rossybrown Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi again,My Mk3 spit has a dolomite engine in it - I knew this, however just thought i'd do some investigation and I can confirm it is a DH prefix engine number which unfortunately means it is from the rwd 1300 dolly and not the fwd twin carb as i had hoped.So my question is what are the spec differences between the dolly engine now it's fitted with twin HS2's and the correct spec Mk 3 1300 engine. Is the head, compression ratio etc the same?Thanks in advance,RossPS: You're right in thinking i want to work out if i have less power and then how to amend this woeful situation.

Doug Paterson Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got a DH engine in my Spit 1500.Have never gotten round to confirming it for sure, but I understand this to have been rebuilt as a 1500 engine i.e. with 1500 crank and 1500 head etc. ITs defo got a 1500 head so this is most likely the case as a 1300 would not run great with the 1500 head (and this engine goes very well indeed!!!).You'll want to check the part number on the head to confirm what it is - its feasible a Spitfire head thats on it.... could be a bit of a pick'n mix job like mine.D.
