has anyone ever put our beloved monster R3 engine in another vehicle?

Had a GEO Metro with a 1.0 liter 3 cylinder and no power. Just sold a 76 spitfire. Never thought of putting R3 engine in it. Frame would probably warp from all the power.
 
I can say without a shadow of a doubt , that the r3 in any shape or guise will ever sound anything even remotely like this ....

**** - I asked you not to tell anybody - They'll all want one now - AND THEY CANT HAVE ONE - Bloody colonials.
 
I would think the weight of the Spit would be an issue for the clutch/transmission of the R3. I had a friend who, 25 years ago, used a motorcycle set up in a Westfield (a Lotus 7 copy) and I believe used a VW transaxle for reverse and final drive. That was one screaming set up, but the weight was half of a Spit.
