Hey Larry, > How broke is your 1147?
This engine was making "popcorn noises" when I bought the car. I've since replaced the engine with a rebored/rebuilt 1500 engine from Hart's in Ohio (recommended by Ted Schumacker sp.). It's missing a fuel pump. The price is pretty good, free if you pick it up. What do you want for your 1296? Is the crank thrust > surface area very good, on the 1296? Probably a couple of hundred, including the tranny, and the Weber. Don't know about the thrust surface, all I can say is that it was running great, had Mobil synth oil, when I messed up the electrical. There were nine wires on the coil and I thought to clean it up. Bad move, I bought another Spit and lost interest. I have parts from three Spits plus the one I'm keeping. I suppose the big question is, "Where are you located?" If you're in the midwest, cool. I take it you aren't interested the 1500 engine.
