Eric and Kraig,
No thanks, I'll stick with my original plan and put the V8 in my TR6. My
conversion is coming along nicely now, with all the hard parts completed.
Having had the use of Ted Lathrop's Chevy 350 powered TR6 for a month, I'm
all fired up. If anyone is interested, the progress so far can be viewed at:

What you do with YOUR car is your choice, but I find it extremely offensive
that you should presume to tell me what to do with MY car.
Let me explain this one more time:
I DON'T WANT A MUSTANG.
I DON'T WANT A CORVETTE.
I DON'T WANT A TR7
I DON'T WANT A TR8.
I DON'T WANT A JAG XJ6..
I WANT A TR6 WITH A V8, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE ONE!
I'm not asking for permission or approval. I'm not asking for acceptance.
I'm just going to do it. Just because I want to. End of discussion.
