If they managed to do a de tuned version for the Cromwell tank then surely.......

I think that was a RR Meteor engine based on the Merlin (27 litre). That Spitfire looks like a later version with a Griffon (37 litre). If you were going to go to the bother of fitting one to your M3W, you wouldn't go for the de-tuned one or the "small" one, it would have to be the Griffon.

Try getting that past Euro 5...

IIRC correctly, the Meteor engine is a Merlin without superchargers - around 600 bhp.

Yes, plus the 1450 lb-ft would also be very usefull.
