I look at the engine "bay" of the Spyder and it just yells "transplant a Porsche 914 5 speed and flat pancake cooled Type 4 engine here." Accessibility is like on the AH Bugeye, TR Spitfire and Jag XK-E --- everything visible and open. The flat OEM cooling sucks air much like the 914 did - an underbody scoop would add air flow. The early rear shift 5 speeds is a natural and would not require flipping the R&P or any pan clearancing. Have never heard of anyone doing it - the 5 speed would be cheap great long leg addition (early 914 trans are cheaper than T1 trans plus lots out there due to 914 rust issues). Even the 914 heat exhangers would work or the stock Tangerine $ header system.

Here's Beck Spyder with T1 engine and trans -

And here is stock 914 engine and trans -
