I could be mistaken, but I don't think the Spitfire head came on a 230. I'm pretty sure they were only installed on the longer (25") engines, such as the 251 and 265, and possibly only on the 251. What I've read is that there is no difference in performance between a Spitfire head and the regular, non-Spitfire head that would have come on the engine ordinarily. My understanding is that the Spitfire was just a name.
