A lot of people are mistaken in assuming that "Spitfire" means higher horsepower. This is not the case. Spitfire is just a pretty name placed on the head.

I you are looking for an engine look for a latter model block which has the bigger valves. That would be a better engine to build. If its a 230 look for a later model Plymouth, 58 or so, with the small combustion chamber head which raises the CR to 8-1.
