FP40446UEFOR SALE The photo is an actual photo of this engine. This engine is a performance build. I began work on this engine on 11-12-2024. It has been machined and balanced. It has oversized flat top pistons, the head has been shaved down to 2.985" to achieve 9.5:1 compression and it has a 270 duration cam. This is an MG Midget/Triumph Spitfire 1500 that I picked up as a core replacement for an engine I sold. The rotating assembly has been balanced and the pistons and rods have been weight balanced. It has new bearings, including cam bearings and tappets. It has a new rocker shaft, double springs, valve guides, double timing chain and sprockets. I had the machine shop grind the intake seats to receive new 1.438" intake valves. The exhaust valves and valve seats have been ground. The center main oil gallery has been drilled out to 5/16" to accommodate better oil flow to the #2 and #3 rod bearings. The diametric clearance on the thrust washers has .004" of end float to resolve the thrust washer issue. It has been sealed up with all new gaskets and seals. The covers have been powder-coated red and the block is painted black. I have run this engine on my test run stand and have made this completion video, you can view it here. If you are interested in purchasing this engine or one like this one, contact me here.
FP52836UE (In progress at the machine shop since 3-07-2025) MG Midget/Triumph Spitfire 1500 performance build
KF2417HE (In progress waiting to be built at JMAC Engine Shop) It will be FOR SALE when complete. This is a Triumph GT6 MK 2 engine. My plan is to add a little compression and a 270 duration cam. I began work on this engine on 4-5-2024. This engine was in remarkable shape considering it had been sitting for about 20 years. I picked it up as a spare core. It will have oversized flat top pistons, the head will be shaved to achieve 9.5:1 compression. The rotating assembly will be balanced. It will have all new bearings, including cam bearings and tappets. It will have a new rocker shaft, springs, valve guides, double timing chain and sprockets. The valves and valve seats will be ground. The diametric clearance on the thrust washers is .003-.005" of end float to prevent any thrust washer issue. It will be sealed up with all new gaskets and seals. The covers will be powder-coated red and the block will be painted black like the picture with one exception; it came with a chrome valve cover. I will run this engine on my test run stand to check oil pressure and for oil leaks. I will check the compression and make a completion video like this one, click here.

High Performance Built Engines
I am currently building a customer Spitfire 1500 engine to be a high performance engine. We began work on this engine in December of 2024. It has been back and forth to and from the machine shop. When I took on this project it had already had the blocked decked but we didn't know how much. It had some aftermarket pistons of unknown origin in it. One of the pistons had come in contact with the head enough that there was wear on the side of the cylinder wall. We sleeved it and are fitting TR6 pistons. The block is being decked to bring the clearance to the head to approximately .004". The head is being shaved down to achieve 11:1 compression and it will have a 275 duration cam. I am lightening the engine by using Maxpeeding rods and an aluminum flywheel. The rotating assembly will be balanced. It will have all new bearings, including cam bearings and tappets. It will have a new rocker shaft, high lift double springs, valve guides, double timing chain and sprockets. The intake valve seats will be ground to receive 1.438" valves. The center main oil gallery has been drilled out to 5/16" to accommodate better oil flow to the #2 and #3 rod bearings. The diametric clearance on the thrust washers will be .003-.005" of end float to resolve the thrust washer issue. It will be sealed up with all new gaskets and seals. The covers are powder-coated red and the block will be painted black like the picture. I will run this engine on my test run stand to check oil pressure and oil leaks. I will check compression numbers after initial run up To see the completion video, click here. If you need an engine, Contact me for prices and availability.
